When I lived in Germany as a college student my German roommates introduced me to the "bowle," a wine white celebration of summer fruit. We made strawberry, or erdbeer bowle, and also peach, or pfirsich bowle, as I recall. We would prepare the fruit, put tons of sugar on it, let that sit for hours and then chill it overnight for the fête the next day. So I am creating this recipe with those fond memories in mind, but with a twist. Normally a bowle would remain light, but I am playing with the color of the traditional white wine. Still, I would not want to use a rose or a red wine here. I am also adding a splash of kirsch to this as a variation. - Sagegreen
