Wine Recommendation for Soupe au Vin? Some years ago when I was in France, we would drink soupe au vin (wine soup) which was served extremely cold on hot summer days. Not being in France and the summer days are now getting hotter, I would like to make some soupe au vin myself. 

Here is my intended recipe:


  
  One bottle (750 ml) of wine
  Water (500 ml)
  Sugar (100 g)
  Strawberries (600 g)
  Toasted bread in cubes to be added just before serving
  


Can anyone make a recommendation of what sort of wine would be best? The wine does not necessarily have to be red or French and if my recipe could be improved somehow please go for it. I simply recall that on hot summer evenings this was such a nice pleasant drink to have while using a bowl and soup spoon to drink it from.
I think you are mixing up Soupe au Vin with Soupe au vin sucré 

It looks like it can be either red or white wine, but mostly it's made with red wine. I would look for a fruity, light bodied red wine to complement the fruit and sugar. A Burgundy or Beaujolais but not too expensive.
