Get the Manguangua mug.An alcoholic drink based off sangria or wine, originally coined by comedian/podcast&radio personality Adam Carolla when he returned to the kitchen to top off his glass of red wine. When he realized he was all out, he ingeniously decided to fortify what was left in his glass with vodka. Realizing no significant change in the taste of the red wine, albeit with a stronger kick, MANgria was born.
The male's alternative to sangria. Fortified wine.

Looking to drink red wine, but want to get buzzed quicker? Try a mangria! Add a little hard liquor to the top!
'Hey John, would you like some sangria that my wife brewed for us?' 'What do I look like, a pussy? Some mangria, if you please.'
Mangria, red wine with a boost.
