On the basis of absolutely no knowledge whatsoever:
any chance that this could refer to a preservation
method? Something along the lines of "cover them, in
season, with red wine" so that they'll keep until
you've got the pomegranate seeds to sprinkle on top?
I tend to think of pomegranates as a winter thing and
strawberries as summer (or spring when imported).
Just a passing thought.
