'all that wine and lemonade?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'performed song backwards' is the wordplay.
'performed' becomes 'sang'.
'song' becomes 'air' (air can mean a piece of music).
'backwards' is a reversal indicator.
'air' back-to-front is 'ria'.
'sang'+'ria'='SANGRIA'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for sangria that I've seen before include "found in Spanish bars" , "Red wine, fruit juice, sugar and spices" , "Drink - Iran gas (anag)" , "Spanish drink of wine, lemonade, fruit, etc" , "Spanish alcoholic drink" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
