Step 1: Place wine and sugar in a large saucepan over a medium heat and stir until sugar is dissolved and then bring to boil and boil rapidly for 1 minute and then remove from the heat.

Step 2: Sprinkle gelatine over water in a small heatproof jug and stand jug in a small saucepan of simmering water and stir until gelatine is dissolved and then remove.

Step 3: Stir gelatine into wine mixture and then let cool to room temperature.

Step 4: Meanwhile, cut nectarines into quarters and then remove stones and cut each quarter into 1cm wedges and then divide among six serving glasses (1-cup capacity).

Step 5: Gently pour half the wine mixture over nectarines and refrigerate for 2 hours, or until jelly is just set.

Step 6: Loosely cover remaining wine mixture and leave at room temperature.

Step 7: Pour remaining wine mixture over jelly in glasses and then refrigerate for 2 hours, or overnight until set.
