Meanwhile, bring the orange juice and vinegar to a boil in a small saucepan. Remove from the heat and add the raisins and currants; let them soak for 15 minutes.

Add the reserved wine and the remaining ingredients to the orange juice pan; bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat and simmer, uncovered, until the mixture is reduced by half.
