Notes

The fruit begins to decompose, especially the soft fruit, after about 3 days. Rancid fruit will turn the sangria bitter and unpleasant.
If you’ve still got quite a bit on hand after three days, I suggest removing the fruit by straining. The remaining sangria should last for up to a week. Toss if the wine has turned a brownish color, if the smell is off or if you detect astringent, chemical flavors.
