Made this for a ladies night and everyone loved it. I'm not a red white fan and thought it was amazing. 

Excellent! I cut the recipe by 1/2 and only used 1 bottle of wine, and then topped off m with Pellegrino when serving, with fresh cut strawberries!

Just made this for the first time last night. It tasted wonderful! Trying to use up what I already had in the kitchen, I used oranges, red apples and plums. I soaked the fruit for three hours with an inexpensive brandy - I used less than a cup - and some leftover Cointreau and agave nectar. I used a reasonably priced but nice Garnacha - I'd wanted a Rioja but couldn't find one within my budget. In the end, when I finally tried it, it was delicious. But sadly, I found the fruit to be so soaked with the brandy, it was inedible to me. It didn't even taste like fruit, only alcohol. But maybe my taste buds aren't used to such a strong flavor. Maybe because I used the Cointreau instead of the triple sec? The guy at the liquor store said the two were very similar. Perhaps next time, I'll just use what the recipe calls for and mix everything together all at once and let the flavors blend that way. But it's a great recipe! Definitely try it! I'll be using this one again! Thanks, Alton!

Extremely refreshing and nice.  This one reminds me of the Sangria the Nut Tree used to serve.  (not there anymore Vacaville, CA  Comparing this one to that one, well, that's the highest compliment for Sangria IMO.  Make this,  you'll be glad you did.

YOU HAVE TO MAKE THIS!!!!!! It is delicious beyond your belief.  

get to Bev-Mo and buy yourself a couple of those "get the 2nd for five cents" wines and in the evening slice up some fruit from your local farmers market. bust out the brandy and soak it over night. as you prepare you coffee in the morning, pour the wine in with your soaking fruit, gently stir and enjoy the anticipation of coming home from work in the evening and relaxing with a deliciously cold glass of Sangria.

After the disappointing results of Sandra Lee's Sangria, I tried Alton's.  Should have known, he always gets things right.  Just be careful, it's so smooth and delish that you can forget your drinking a fortified wine.  Perfect summer day BBQ adult drink.  

I recently had a Lia Sophia Jewelry party.  Alton Brown's Sangria recipe was a big hit.  Everyone love it....  Thanks

this was great Sangria.  I had some red wine left over from Xmas and didnt want to throw it away since it was really good wine.  I dont really like red wine so I decided to make sangria.  This was the easiest I found and I had all the ingredients on hand.  You wont go wrong with this recipe.

This Sangria was so easy to make and everyone loved it. I used a bit more sugar and brandy in the fruit so everything was covered well to marinate overnight.   I have never missed with any of Alton's recipe's. He gives you fantastic basics to springboard from!
