Ingredients:
1 (20-ounce) can pineapple chunks in juice, drained

2 cups burgundy or other red wine, chilled and divided
¼ cup plus 2 tbsp frozen lemonade concentrate, thawed and undiluted

2. Position knife blade in food processor bowl; add fruit, and process for 30 seconds. Add 1 cup wine and lemonade concentrate; process until smooth. Pour into a large pitcher; add remaining 1 cup wine and club soda, stirring well.
3. Pour into individual glasses; garnish each with a reserved pineapple chunk and an orange rind curl. Serve immediately.

An electric blender may be used instead of a food processor. It may be necessary to prepare the beverage in batches because a blender container is generally smaller than a food processor bowl.
