Large-format and fruit-laden, Wine Punch builds on a full bottle of red wine with fresh lemon, orange juice and slices, and pineapple juice, served over a block of ice from a pitcher or punch bowl. The pineapple contributes an unexpected sweetness and acidity that plays against the wine's tannin and fruit, producing a punch more complex than a plain sangria. At roughly 5.5% ABV and intended for groups, it benefits from about an hour of refrigeration so the citrus and tropical juices can integrate with the wine before it is ladled out and served.

Wine Punch is a large-format red wine punch combining a full bottle of red wine with fresh lemon, orange juice, orange slices, and pineapple juice, served from a pitcher or punch bowl over ice. The tropical pineapple juice adds an unexpected sweetness and acidity that complements the wine's tannin and fruit, creating a more complex punch than simple sangria. It is designed for groups and benefits from an hour of refrigeration before serving.
History & Origins
Wine punches have a long history in both European and American entertaining, with red wine as a punch base appearing in 18th and 19th-century recipe books. The addition of tropical pineapple juice reflects 20th-century American cooking's enthusiasm for fruit combinations that transcend traditional European flavor pairings. The specific recipe is a modern American creation of disputed origin, likely developed as a party punch standard.
Tasting Notes
Aroma: Red wine fruit (berry, cherry), orange zest, fresh lemon, and a tropical pineapple note. Palate: Medium-bodied and fruit-forward, with red wine providing tannin structure and depth; orange and pineapple juices add layered citrus-tropical sweetness and acidity, and lemon ensures the punch stays lively rather than cloying. Finish: Fruity, moderately tart, and gently tannic with lingering orange and pineapple.
Pro Tip
Refrigerate the punch for at least an hour before serving and add a block of ice rather than cubes to prevent rapid dilution in the serving bowl.
