While I Heart Sangria! previously gave a great recipe for low-cost Boxed Wine Sangria, I just came across something quicker, easier and cheaper on the market: "Box Set Sangria" at only $12.99 for a 3 liter box. That's 4 bottles of wine. You can't buy 4 bottles of cheap wine for $12.99!So how does it taste? Pretty darn good! The ingredients are wine and "natural flavors" and I'm assuming its heavy on the natural flavors. The color is dark and purple-y so it has a red wine base with some fruity, citrus notes to it. Straight up, it tasted fine. With some club soda, it definitely improved. By floating a few orange slices in it, I easily achieved a more-than-acceptable sangria that I would be happy to serve at a big party. I'm sure that if this boxed sangria was decanted into a pitcher filled with fruit slices and allowed to chill for a few hours, it would be close to fabulous.
I'm adding Box Set Sangria to my list of quick, easy & cheap sangrias!
