Sangria is among Spain's most celebrated cultural exports, and the Alsol pitcher is a product designed specifically to help people enjoy the fruit-filled beverage as conveniently as possible. Created by Smallgran, a Spanish design studio, the Alsol pitcher looks like little more than a creative ceramic ewer at first blush, but when placed on its side after finishing the wine from the sangria, it serves as a bowl for the wine-soaked fruit in sangria.
Most people think of sangria as just fruit-flavored wine, but the macerated fruit in the beverage is just as much a part of the experience as the wine itself. The typical pitcher simply isn't conducive to eating as compared to drinking, though, meaning that the fruit at the bottom either gets wasted or needs to be fished out with a long fork or spoon. The Alsol pitcher makes getting to the fruit simple.
