Simple Sangria

A summer staple, more an art than a science. What's your favorite take on it?

White Sangria
serves 10-12

2 bottles white wine (pinot grigio, sauvignon blanc, or cava/moscato for sparkling)
2 white peaches
1 pear
1/2 orange
1 cup blueberries
1 stick cinnamon

Red Sangria
serves 10 - 12

2 bottles red wine (merlot, zinfandel, syrah)
1 apple
1 - 2 cups strawberries
1/2 orange
1 lemon

Preparation:
For both recipes, cut fruit into slices or sections as desired, combine in large bowl or pitcher. Pour wine over fruit, and let sit for at least 3 hours, but ideally overnight. Add 1 - 2 tbsp sugar to sweeten and help release the fruit juices. Additionally, feel free to add any combination of brandy, orange juice or club soda to add some fizziness or adjust the flavor. Club soda should be added immediately before serving.
