For the syllabub: In small bowl, combine wine, sugar and orange juice and stir to dissolve. In larger bowl, whisk the cream by hand or with electric mixer. Slowly add wine mixture, whisking constantly, until cream is fluffy with soft peaks. In small glass tumblers, layer cream, poached rhubarb and liquid.
