❓ FAQs

Q1: What is Vinho Verde?
A: It’s a young Portuguese “green wine,” known for its light body, crisp taste, and mild effervescence — perfect for refreshing cocktails like sangria.

Q2: Can I use another wine instead of Vinho Verde?
A: Yes! Any light, fruity white wine like Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio works well.

Q3: Can I make this sangria non-alcoholic?
A: Absolutely! Replace wine with sparkling white grape juice and skip the alcohol.

Q4: Can I make it ahead of time?
A: Yes — it actually tastes better after a few hours of chilling as the fruit infuses flavor.
