Description: A famously simple, equal-parts red wine and cola drink, hugely popular in the Basque Country of Spain.
Cultural Background: Originated in the Basque Country, where it's traditionally made with an inexpensive, robust red wine rather than anything fine.

Serving Suggestion: Serve over ice as a casual, festival-style drink.
