Summer Wine Punch

                Sometimes in the summer it is just too hot for a simple glass of wine, cooling off with some wine based drinks is another great option. Punch and cocktails based on wine are a wonderful and unique to beat the summer heat. Try a pink lemonade punch made by blending ice with pink lemonade and adding a juicy rose wine. There are many versions of these chilly adult drinks, and they are well loved in the summer. Sangria is one of the best known summer wine punches. Try two bottle wine totes filled with good Spanish red wine or burgundy and rose to start the best sangria ever. Add to it no more than four different fruits to keep the flavors uncluttered.  Good fruits to put in sangria are melon, citrus, mango and pineapple depending on the wine going into it. 
                Other good wine drinks are out there and just waiting to be invented, so experiment with adding ice, fruit and other flavors to find personalized ways to refresh. Maybe what once started as a simple mix could become a well-loved summer favorite with friends and strangers alike like the wonderfully fruity May Wine. All May Wine is is dry white wine and strawberries halves, so don’t be too intimidated to get creative.
