For the ice equivalent: in a round aluminum or stainless-steel Jello mold, (which you can put in a freezer and the frozen content will fit the punch bowl you are using) add the shredded ginger and lime slices. Add enough water to just cover the ginger and lime. Cover with Saran Wrap and store in the freezer until ready to use. When ready to put the punch together, use a larger bowl filled with boiling water. Dip the frozen bowl’s bottom into the larger bowl to detach its contents from the mold and slide contents into the serving bowl. Add the sparkling water and wine.
Note 1: If the wine and sparkling water have been well refrigerated and are very cold, additional ice is not necessary.
Note 2: If you do not want to use alcohol, simply add another bottle of sparkling water to replace the wine.
