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.

We have been drinking this Sangria all summer. Very nice! It might last three days in the fridge, but not much longer than that.

This was a total hit at a recent party. I presented it in a lovely curvy pitcher so the fruit could really spread out and people said it looked as gorgeous as it tasted. I think the key to this compared to other white wine sangria is the mint and seltzer. Both give it a nice crisp finish everyone commented positively on.

Love this. One of my best friends can’t drink red wine because it gives her a migraine so for her bridal shower lunch I made this one. I made 8 recipes worth! I needed to make it the day before so I didn’t add the mint (wasn’t sure how it would hold up that long. The fruit held up well and the apples and grapes were still crisp. We had people add a splash of mineral water to their own rather than mix it into the big bowl and have it go flat. I used two buck chuck Sauvignon Blanc from TJs and it was good (nice inexpensive option. I also didn’t add the salt but might try it for myself. People raved about it .
To make a lot, use a mandolin to slice the citrus in pretty rounds. To cut the grapes efficiently put a small plate or ziplock/glad lid upside down on a handful of grapes on a cutting board, hold the plate/lid down with one hand and saw slice through all the grapes. Saved me so much time trying to hold each little one between my fingers to slice.
