Bake at 425º F for 15—18 minutes or until golden.
Meanwhile, in medium bowl, gently stir together strawberries, sugar and wine. Let stand about 20 minutes or until juicy.
Split biscuit in 1/2 and place bottom on serving plate. Spoon berries over top, reserving juice. Place biscuit top on strawberries.
