Majorca Sangria (The Real Deal) image

From CULINARIA SPAIN & recipe editor Ingeborg Pils comes this recipe straight from Majorca, known as Spain's *Island of Wine* for its long tradition of excellence. Altho the vineyards are sml by modern stds & produce 1.5 mil liters for export, demand for the wine is so great on the island that very little wine is actually exported. This recipe was described as authentic, but strangely did not suggest a particular red wine. Since I do not feel qualified to choose for you, I will leave that to your best judgment. (Time *does* include time for fruits to sit in the sugar) *Enjoy*
