Living in the second largest wine producing country in the world , I prefer French wine , for one obvious reason .  I am glad you do, like the French they overlook New World wines, which means it is often discounted, I have to tell the check out staff who ask why I am buying 18-24 bottles of the same wine that I am making either Vin Chaud or Sangria, it works for me. |

So why don't you tell them the truth ?  |

Because I am not allowed to and under European Union law, the use of sangria in commercial or trade labeling is now restricted under geographical labeling rules.
The European Parliament approved new labeling laws by a wide margin in January 2014, protecting indications for aromatized drinks, including sangria, Vermouth and Glühwein. Only sangria made in Spain and Portugal is allowed to be sold as "sangria" in the EU; sangria made elsewhere must be labeled as such (e.g., as "German sangria" or "Swedish sangria").[23]
The definition of sangria under European Union law from the 2014 Regulation states that it is an:
Aromatised wine-based drink
—which is obtained from wine,
—which is aromatised with the addition of natural citrus-fruit extracts or essences, with or without the juice of such fruit,
—to which spices may have been added,
—to which carbon dioxide may have been added,
—which has not been coloured,
—which have an actual alcoholic strength by volume of not less than 4,5 % vol., and less than 12 % vol., and
—which may contain solid particles of citrus-fruit pulp or peel and its colour must come exclusively from the raw materials used.
'Sangría' or 'Sangria' may be used as a sales denomination only when the product is produced in Spain or Portugal. When the product is produced in other Member States, 'Sangría' or 'Sangria' may only be used to supplement the sales denomination 'aromatised wine-based drink', provided that it is accompanied by the words: 'produced in …',
followed by the name of the Member State of production or of a more restricted region.’
Bloody cheek!
what do call your member state; or is that a restricted region?
