Note
For best results, use a dry white wine like Chablis, Sauvignon Blanc, or Pinot Grigio. Avoid oaked whites which may clash with the fruit.
You can adjust the sweetness by reducing the amount of sugar, especially if using sweeter fruits or a sweeter wine.
To keep the sangria fizzy, add the club soda right before serving. If added too early, it will go flat.
Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Add fresh club soda when serving again.
Feel free to substitute apples with peaches or nectarines for a seasonal twist.
