Sangria: Which type of red wine to use?

Thanks!  Making my first batch.

You just want to avoid wine that is too oaky/earthy.   I have had great luck with Tempranillos and Merlots for Sangria (ironically, when I am drinking red, I prefer the more oak-y flavors).

I use 2 Buck Chuck aka Trader Joes Charles Shaw.  There's no point in putting in expensive wines seeing as your mixing it w/ juices, etc.   The best Sangria I ever had was made w/ TJ $2 wine and I was shocked!!  Of course, that's the only part of the recipe my friend will give me!!!

Burgundy in a jug. I forget the brand name but you certainly don't need a quality wine to make a yummy sangria.
