Question
Drinking red wine is said to be good for health.
in moderate quantities of course; but how about
Sangria?  Is sangria a red wine or is it  from other than grapes?

Answer
Dear Willie:

Sangria is a combination of red wine, fruit juices, and other odds and ends.  As such, it will have some of the same health benefits of wine--but not as much resveratrol as pure red wine--that's the antioxidant that seems to be of benefit against cancer.
