Sourdough Café
After just about a year, Sourdough Café is still one of Quezon City's best kept gourmet secrets. The wine list is impressive, and so is the sangria. It's made with quality wine, gin, brandy and concentrated orange juice, resulting in a lovely sangria with nice body. And quite affordable, too. To order, DM @sourdoughcafedeli on Instagram or Facebook, or call (02) 525 9463.

Las Flores
Do you miss drinking with your girl friends? We do! Our favorite dinners always start with Las Flores's spritely Sangria Blanca which is just the right touch of fruity, bright and clean. To order, DM @lasfloresph on Instagram, call (02) 8552.2815, or (0916) 619-3365. You may also order for curbside pick up or delivery via GrabFood or FoodPanda

Hola Bombon
If you want good sangria, always ask a Spaniard. Hola Bombon's Roja Sangria is made with cognac and dry curacao, with orange juice, apples and lemons. Complex yet refreshing enough to keep drinking all day long (at least I did!). Order from @hola.bombonph on Instagram, or through the website at www.holabombon.com/online-ordering.

Barcino
Apart from the homemade sangrias served at family parties, Barcino's Sangria Tinto is the first I ever drank in a restaurant, and I loved it. It's made with Borsao Tinto Joven, a light yet bold wine from Spain that blends Garnacha, Tempranillo, and Cabernet Sauvignon. Barcino also has four other sangrias that you can try. Order from www.barcino.com.ph or message @barcinowine on Instagram.

Tomatito Manila
I don't know why it's so, but Tomatito Manila's Red Sangria always gives the best buzz. It's a contemporary sangria, light and easy to drink. Order from @tomatitomanila on Instagram, or call (02) 8805-7840 or (0915) 588-4803. Also available via curbside pick up or delivery via GrabFood.

Sangria Lolea
Designed by 3-Michelin starred Albert Adria, Lolea is one of the best sangrias I've ever drank, bottled or otherwise. Lolea No. 1 is a clear, ruby sangria frizzante, Lolea No. 2 is a sparkling white sangria made with chardonnay. Both are handmade and of artisanal quality. Order from shop.happylivingph.com, @bowtieduck.manila on Instagram, or winery.ph

Bar Pintxos
Did you ever wonder why it was so easy to spend hours and hours at Bar Pintxos? I suspect it's their housemade sangria which is made following a family recipe of Miguel Vecin's. Brandy and soda make all the difference, and the fruits are soaked overnight so they're steeped in the very soul of the wine. Order from www.barpintxos.com, @barpintxos on Instagram, or send a message to (0956) 473-5135.

Botellon
Jorge Joseph has these classic, home-curated sangria cocktails in Tinta and Blanca. With chopped fruit, they come in easy-to-consume 500-ml bottles, and with a friendly price. The perfect evening de-stresser after a long day's WFH. Order at (0917) 853-7501.
La Tita Sangria
This is the sangria I pour when drinking with the young nieces, whose palates gear towards sweet and fruity. And, they want to drink a lot! La Tita tastes fresh with citrusy notes. Available in classic red, sparkling red, or sparkling white. Order from @latita.manilenya, @baresandestrellas, and www.barcino.com.ph
