- Next, add the sliced orange, lemon, lime, and strawberries into the mixture. Gently stir to incorporate the fruits.

Tips
- Wine Selection: Choose a crisp, dry white wine like Pinot Grigio or Sauvignon Blanc for the best base flavor.
- Fruit Preparation: Slice fruits thinly to maximize flavor infusion and make them easier to serve.
- Chilling Time: While the recipe can be served immediately, letting it rest in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours will intensify the fruity flavors.
- Sugar Adjustment: Taste and adjust sugar according to your preference - some white wines are naturally sweeter than others.
- Carbonation Tip: Add soda water just before serving to maintain its refreshing fizz.
- Serving Suggestion: Use clear glasses to showcase the beautiful fruit and wine mixture.
- Make Ahead: You can prepare the base mixture a day in advance, adding soda water only when ready to serve.
