Healthy Very-Berry Sangria for a Sparkling New Year

NEW YEAR'S BRAINY RECIPE:

Ring in the New Year in style and moderation with this tantalizing sangria. Red wine is brain-healthy in moderation (1 or 2 glasses), because it is rich in resveratrol, which keeps neurons young and strong. Berries pack a neuroprotective punch, with their rich complement of fisetin and antioxidants. Raise your glass to this "low-risk-big-taste"  fruit-and-wine pair. Happy New Year!
