I used to have a most delicious one that used Merlot and fruit slices, but there were other ingredients that I cannot remember. I appreciate your help!

The beauty of the basic Sangria recipe is that it is as delicious as it is easy, and it only gets better as you spice it up with your own additions! Really, it is hard to add the “wrong” ingredient here, think favorite fruits, spice and liquors. Chill and enjoy!
INGREDIENTS:
1 Bottle of red wine (Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Rioja, Zinfandel, Shiraz)
1 Lemon cut into wedges
1 Orange cut into wedges
2 Tbsp sugar
1 Shot brandy
2 Cups ginger ale or club soda
PREPARATION:
Pour wine in the pitcher and squeeze the juice wedges from the lemon and orange into the wine. Toss in the fruit wedges (leaving out seeds if possible) and add sugar and brandy. Chill overnight. Add ginger ale or club soda just before serving.
If you’d like to serve right away, use chilled red wine and serve over lots of ice.
Addition ideas: sliced strawberries, peaches, handful of fresh blueberries, raspberries, kiwi, a shot or two of gin, brandy or rum, a cup of ginger ale, citrus soda pop or lime juice.

I like the Sangria that does not have anything bubbly added.
A History of Sangria
From its humble roots in Spain, Sangria has grown to become a popular, refreshing party drink around the world. In the US, Sangria was first tasted at the 1964 World’s Fair in New York. The Spanish World area served this fruity wine punch to its visitors, and history was made!
Sangria is based on the traditional red wine punch popular across europe for hundreds of years. The punch base would be claret, i.e. Bordeaux wine from France. Brandy and fruit would be added to the punch for flavor. In the 1700s and 1800s, Claret Cup Punch could be found at parties of all sizes.
Every restaurant has its own sangria recipe – typically a mix of wine, brandy and fresh fruits, served over ice. It’s one of the most individualistic drinks on the market. Don’t just buy a mix at the store – have fun and create your own! Sangria’s appeal is all about taking your favorite red wine, your favorite fruits, and experimenting with them.

In a pitcher combine…
A bottle of red wine
cut up pieces of fruit such as:
apples
oranges
cherries
limes
lemons
add a couple cinnamon sticks
Let sit overnight…
Then the next day you can add brandy or peach schnapps or whatever you like for liquor.

Wow, the recipes people gave you here all sound great (I need to copy those myself). If you are still looking for one more similar to the recipe you had before, you could also try. I love that website, and I’m always surprised to find recipes for things I’ve had in the past and always wished I could make myself…they have some of everything there. I’ve seen sangria recipes there before, but I can’t remember what they were like. Good luck!
