This is actually not a mixed drink made with wine because it was a glass of a non-alcoholic version of sangria, but the proper adult version certainly is a wine-based drink. This photo also contains another point of interest, the little pottery cup balanced over the glass, containing a slice of bread spread with herb butter as an amuse-guele; is this the modern interpretation of the origins of tapas?
For this mini-series, we will try and explore some drinks based on wines, from Kir to Sangria to various wine cups and even cocktails, such as Buck's Fizz and Bellini. As it is summery and hot, we will leave such hot wine-based drinks as mulled wine to a wintry season, either as independent tidbits, or as a mini-series if I can dig up enough material for a few blogs.
