Note
Do not boil the wine after adding it, as this will cause the alcohol to evaporate and may alter the flavor profile of the dish.
For a non-alcoholic version, substitute the dry white wine with an equal amount of apple juice or white grape juice.
Fresh pineapple juice can be used instead of canned for a brighter, less sweet flavor, but you may need to adjust the sugar quantity to taste.
This punch can be kept warm in a slow cooker on the "warm" setting for parties, but avoid letting it simmer for too long to preserve the wine's character.
