Reduce heat to low and add onions and garlic then simmer uncovered for 15 minutes stirring occasionally, adding butter during cooking process if necessary. Increase heat to medium then add sugar and sauté for 30 minutes. Increase heat to high then pour the wine into the onions and reduce the liquid by 2/3.

Bring to boil then reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 30 minutes stirring occasionally. Remove bay leaf then pour hot soup into bowls and float bread on top. Sprinkle generously with gruyere cheese and a little grated parmesan. Broil soup in the middle of the oven for 20 minutes.
