Summer is in the Air with this Sangria Punch

There is just something about bringing out the glass pitcher and getting it full of fresh summer ingredients that helps me cool off in the warm weather. I came across this recipe on http://www.kraftcanada.com/EN/ and it is quite the hit around here. Hope you enjoy it as much as we did!
