         I thought champagne and organge juice was a mimosa?  Fruity drinks all taste the same to me.

            Champagne is just a fizzy white wine, so need to ask the OP what colour of wine it was. Red or white?
            Any drink made with red wine will be dark, no matter how much is added to it.

      Wine and orange juice alone is a sangria, but a pretty boring one!
      
      When I had the bar in Spain, we used to fill a jug half full of red wine, then add in ice, chopped lemons and oranges, sugar, fresh orange, fizzy orange, vodka, gin, a selection of whatever liqueur bottles that were to hand, maybe a drizzle of Malibu as well, then stir the lot with a long spoon.
      
      Serve.
      
      It was wonderful. Everybody wanted a glass!

            Why are you sending me to wiki articles, both of which call for citations to verify the contents?
