This should help.Cheers:)

Answer 2

Mulled wine is also called Spiced Wine, Hot Spiced Wine, Glogg, or Gluhwein. You would use Mulling Spices, which would be the same spices used when making Hot Apple Cider (cinnamon, cloves, orange peel, etc).

You can usually find packages of Mulling Spices in the produce section of your local grocery store near fresh cider. You would heat the wine with these mulling spices. Red Wine is usually served warm, whereas White Wine would be chilled after you cook it. White wine is not as common as Red wine for mulling/spicing. Most people drink Mulled Red Wine over the holidays, it's very tasty if you like cinnamon and cloves.

A quick internet search will give you lots of options for recipes if you don't want to buy a bag of pre-mixed mulling spices.

Good luck, hope you enjoy it!

Mulled wine, similar to the German Glühwein, the French vin chaud, the Italian vin brulè,and the Slovak Varené vino, is wine, usually red wine, combined with spices and is usually served hot. In the old times wine often went bad, but by adding spices and honey it could be made drinkable again. Nowadays it is a traditional drink during winter, and especially around Christmas, to warm up. In Italy, this beverage is typically drunk in the northern, more Germanic part of the country.

Glogg (Swedish: Glögg, Norwegian: Gløgg, Danish: Gløgg, Finnish: Glögi) is the Scandinavian form of mulled wine, similar to Glühwein in German-speaking countries. Glühwein is usually prepared from (not too expensive, sometimes outright cheap) red wine, which is heated and spiced with cinnamon sticks, cloves and sugar. In Romania it is called vin fiert [1], literaly meaning hot wine, and comes in both white wines and red wines.

If orange juice is added, it becomes a form of punch.

Answer 4

Mulled wine is fab at this time of year. You can get really good sachets in the supermarket which you add to red wine and simmer on the hob. You could try making your own by wrapping spices in muslin, cloves and cinnamon work well with some slices of orange.

Answer 6

Personally I don't like it. It's something like a sangria but heat brings out the tannins and the sharpness of wines. Where as chilling a sangria softens those same compounds.
