Wine
A dry red you would drink. Sweet wine plus sugar is too much.
Fruit
Orange and apple. They hold up. Berries fall apart.
Chill
Two hours is the minimum. Overnight is better.
Soda
Club soda, not lemon-lime soda, unless you want it sweeter.

FAQ
White wine?
That is a different pitcher. This one is red.
No brandy?
Leave it out. The wine still carries it.
Storage
Without soda, 2 days in the fridge. Fruit gets soft after that.
Sugar
Start with 2 tablespoons. Taste before you add more.
