Loved this and so did everyone else at the party!!! Even the husbands!!!
I didn't use the mint because I didn't have any and couldn't find any at a reasonable price. It was still VERY good. I plan to try the mint next time. Highly recommend.

Loved it! I made this for a large party - I used 21 bottles of wine - on Labor Day weekend and it got rave reviews. The mint is very refreshing and the fruit is very attractive. I used a Sauv. Blanc - cheapest I could find - and it was nice. It tastes great even a day or two later. I did think were too many apples & they were too cumbersome the first time I made it, so I only used about 2/3 as many and I cut them into chunks instead of slices after that. I cut the grapes & then froze 1/2 of them & added them just before serving to help keep it cold...worked great. It tastes a lot like a mojito drink but not exactly. I'll be making this again I'm sure!

The mint made it taste too much like a mojito. The "Spanish white wine" was not specified as sweet or dry. I used dry. I served this at a test dinner for an upcoming supper club with a group of friends. The dinner featured paella. No one liked the drink. I kind of liked it but I do not like sweet sangria either. The guest at my test dinner said it was not sweet enough and that the drink should have marinated much longer...like overnight. I agree. The drink needs work. My guest said it wasn't fixable. It was hard to sell it as sangria because it was far from it. I would recommend that if your serve it as a sangria that you test it first and be prepared to tweak it by possibly adding more sugar, use a sweet wine, and re-name it as something other than sangria. My dinner test friends are also in supper clubs and have developed palettes so I respect their opinion. I am giving up on white wine sangria and sticking with the tried and true. I hope this review is helpful. Good luck.
