Madrid-Style Sangria

Sangria is one of the most popular beverages for a barbecue, but over the years there’s been a tendency to turn it into a sort of wine-drenched fruit salad. Here’s a sangria that’s prepared in the style of the tapas bars of Madrid—minimal fruit, not too sweet, and very potent. My wife, Barbara, happens to like a fruity sangria, and when my back is turned, she’s apt to add grapes and diced bananas to this recipe. If you like a fruity sangria, do the same.
