This is an authentic version of the popular wine drink. You can add any fruit that you want, but I find that apples and pears absorb all the rum.

1 lemon
1 lime
1 orange
1 1/2 cups rum
1/2 cup white sugar
1 (750ml) bottle dry red wine

Have the fruit, rum, wine, and orange juice well chilled. Slice the lemon, lime and orange into thin rounds and place in a large glass pitcher. Pour in the rum and sugar. Chill in refrigerator for 2 hours to develop the flavors.
When ready to serve, crush the fruit lightly with a wooden spoon and stir in the wine and orange juice. Adjust sweetness to taste.
