Sprite

According to Rock Hill Coca-Cola, Sprite has been around for a very long time and has roots in Germany since 1959. When it first arrived in the United States two years later, it was known as Clear Lemon Fanta before changing to Sprite. With a younger generation, it gained appeal in the 1960s, and for good cause.

It's a soda people typically use to make a chilled white wine spritzer for a summertime outdoor party, but it also goes well with red wine. Simply combine red wine and Sprite over ice, and if you have some lemon or mint on hand, garnish with those as well.
