½pineapple, peeled and sliced(preferably ripe)
1orange, sliced

Instructions
Combine sliced fruits with red wine in a bowl or pitcher. Cover and let the wine infuse with the fruits for at least 5 hours or for best result, overnight, in the fridge.
Serve the sangria with the infused fruits. Add ice, sparkling water, soda, and/or simple syrup to taste, or drink as is.
Notes
Letting the sangria sit and infuse with the fruits overnight is highly recommended so that the sangria actually tastes fruity.
To help infuse the fruit flavors faster, you can chop the fruits into smaller pieces or muddle the fruits.
Feel free to add sparkling water, club soda, clear sodas like ginger ale, or even sparkling wine for some fizz. If you wish for the sangria to be sweeter, add some simple syrup.
Simple syrup: Bring 1 to 1 ratio of water and sugar to a boil. Let it cool, and it will be ready to be used.
You can also add a splash of brandy to the sangria if you want a stronger alcohol flavor.
