Add sugar and water to a small saucepan. Over medium high heat bring the mixture to a boil. Cook until sugar is fully dissolved. Allow to cool. Congrats, you've just made delicious simple syrup (we make this in a larger batch ahead of time and store in a sealed jar in the fridge for sangria and mojitos!)
Add red wine, brandy, cranberry juice, apple slices, orange slices, strawberries and blueberries to a large pitcher.
Add in cooled simple syrup and stir. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours or for best results overnight. Serve over ice and garnish with additional fruit and/or a cute straw!
To make a spritzer, you can always add some club soda or sprite before serving.
