Preparation

In a large bowl, combine the red wine, orange juice, brandy, Triple Sec, sugar and lemon juice. Whisk until sugar is completely dissolved.
Add orange slices, green apple slices, raspberries, strawberries and cinnamon sticks. Mix gently.
Transfer everything to a large 2L pitcher. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate 2 to 4 hours (no longer, otherwise fruits become too soft).
When serving, fill each glass with ice cubes. Pour sangria with some fruits and top with a splash of sparkling water to taste for freshness and bubbles.
