What can i mix wine with?
Can I mix juice with burgundy wine to make the taste less bitter? Am I better off using something like sprite? I don't want the alcohol watered down, I'm just trying to improve the taste of what I have.
Answers:
You can do several things.... do as BlueChick said and make sangria http://www.wineintro.com/sangria/...
OR - you can mull it...

Or make a spritzer or wine cooler with club soda or juices.
Make sangria, there are a ton of variations. This is the basic sangria but there are stronger versions, spicy versions and even on for white wine. Its great with chips and dip... :)

sprite very little
How about you just buy a better wine? Beaujolais - Louis Jadot is a really good Burgundy wine to try. Cheap wines are often bitter.
