Meanwhile, seed the pomegranate. Discard the rind and pith. For instructions, click here.
Place the pomegranate seeds, apple slices, and grapes into the bottom of your pitcher. Pour the entire bottle of red wine into the pitcher over the fruit. Add the pomegranate juice, grape juice, brandy, triple sec, and honey simple syrup to the pitcher. Stir gently to blend all the flavors together.
