Bring to the boil 1L water, cherries and sugar. Add cinnamon and cloves tied in cheesecloth and reduce to a simmer.  Cook for 10-12 minutes, or until cherries are soft.

Remove spice bundle.  Whisk together the flour and cream, temper with 1cup of hot liquid.  Stir into the soup.  Barely simmer for about 5 minutes until thickened.  Add wine at the end.
