Notes

For a richer flavor, substitute margarine with unsalted butter. If red wine is unavailable, you can use orange juice or balsamic vinegar. This pie is best enjoyed within 2-3 days but can be made a day ahead to allow flavors to meld. For a glossy finish, brush the top strawberries with warmed apricot jam before serving.
