The locals call it 'gemišt' which is a germanism (gemischt = mixed). The wine used for this is bottom of the barrel, since it's a shame to waste good wine for this purpose.

Do they do red wine and coke over there too? Fairly common in some parts of the world, I'd guess it works well with cheap wine (never tried).

Does the alcohol by volume content end up diluted proportionally to something like 2-7% vs the usual 12-14%?
