Mulled Wine Kit - What Is It and What Is In It

by main, Categories: Wine Instruction

Mulled wine is a warm wine that is flavored with spices, much like hot apple cider. The spices used in the wine are usually some variation of

sugar
star anise
cinnamon
cloves

The spices are usually not served with the wine but allowed to seep in the hot wine, much like an herbal tea.

A red wine is usually used with this kind of recipe, and Shiraz are usually the best type of red wine and works well with making it into a mulled wine.

Mulled wines can be purchased pre made, or made at home and are typically consumed during the holiday season. It also makes a great gift for the wine lover as well.

There are a number of places online where you can purchase mulled wine kits. The list will follow in this post at a later time.
