For how long should you soak fruit in sangria prior to serving?

When making sangria, lots of people like to soak their fruit in the alcohol for a period of time prior to serving. This allows the fruit to soak up a few of the flavors of the sangria, and can produce a more satisfying beverage. So for how long should you soak fruit in sangria prior to serving?

Normally, it is suggested that you soak fruit in sangria for at least 30 minutes, but no more than 24 hours. If you soak the fruit for too long, it can begin to break down and fall apart, which will not be extremely appealing. Soaking the fruit for only 30 minutes will permit it to soak up a few of the flavors without breaking down.
