Wine Cooler -

This refreshing wine cooler is a simple and elegant beverage that became especially popular in the 1980s as a light alternative to stronger cocktails. With just two chilled ingredients, dry red wine and club soda or orange soda, it’s perfect for warm weather, casual get-togethers, or a relaxed evening at home. Its crisp, fruity flavor makes it a hit for those who want something a bit more mellow than straight wine but still classy and flavorful.
