Wine Cooler; Sangria

[Bapopik at AOL.COM]

WINE COOLER

   I was asked by an OUP-type person to do "wine cooler" ASAP:

What's the first reference you can find for "wine-cooler," meaning a beverage composed of white wine and fruit (as opposed to a device for cooling wine), and what's the first reference to "sangria" in the United States (as opposed to references to sangria in other countries).


   OED has "wine cooler, a vessel in which bottles of wine can be immersed in ice or iced liquid," from 1815.


   In 2000, I had posted this:

TAVERN WEEKLY NEWS

    Here's a roundup of some of the many "THE BARMAN'S CORNER, by Patrick Murphy" columns in the TAVERN WEEKLY NEWS (also TAVERN NEWS when some issues were bi-weekly).  The NYPL gets the Illinois edition.  I have no idea about other editions, which may be different.

COOL WINE DRINKS BEAT SUMMER HEAT
MARIAN MANNERS. Los Angeles Times (1886-Current File). Los Angeles, Calif.: Jul 10, 1951. p. B2 (1 page):
   Wine coolers fill the wide gap between soft and hard drinks for summer refreshments.  Fruit-flavored sodas, such as lime, lemon, grapefruit or cherry, combine with wine and ice cubes to make some of summer's choice coolers.  They are simply prepared by filling half a tall glass with a favorite wine, red or white, adding two or three ice cubes and filling the glass with a favorite fruit-flavored soda.

   Late-Hour Experiment Draws Few to Metropolitan Museum

   '83 wine sales: imports and bubblies still surge.
Frank J. Prial. New York Times (1857-Current file). New York, N.Y.: Apr 11, 1984. p. C1 (2 pages)
First page:   One of the significant developments of 1983 was the growth of wine coolers, a product that most consumers in the New York area have not tasted.  Wine coolers, a mixture of fruit juice, wine and soda water, sprang into prominence seemingly overnight in the parts of the country, mostly the West and the South, where they have been introduced.  Last year almost 34 million gallons entered distribution channels, an 18.5 percent rise over 1982.  The increase was particularly impressive because the coolers are in a category of wines known as "special natural" that has been dropping steadily for almost a decade.

   Measure Would Let Grocery Stores Sell a Wine Beverage
Special to The New York Times. New York Times (1857-Current file). New York, N.Y.: Jun 29, 1984. p. B2 (1 page):
   Under the bill, only wine made from grapes grown in the state could be used in the beverage, called a wine cooler.  The provision is designed to increase sagging sales among the state's 75 grape growers and vintners, according to Timothy J. Russert, counselor to the Governor.
   Wine coolers--a carbonated mixture of wine, fruit juice, water and sugar--would join beer as the only alcoholic beverages that could be sold legally in New York food stores if the bill becomes law.
   The sale of wine coolers is already permitted in licensed liquor stores, taverns and restaurants, where they have been available for about the last three months.

Add one-half bottle of good Spanish or Chilean red wine and one pint club soda.  Add a dash or brandy and, if desired, a dash of Triple Sec.  Stir well and serve immediately.  Makes four servings.
