"Is mulled wine really just a seasonal name for old shite that nobody in their right mind would buy normally?
Add whatever they do to offload it onto mugs at Christmas time?"
Well you’re not going to mull a vintage Burgundy! Lol |

Not so much mulled wine … but reminding me of the proper European markets, I do love Gluwein. 😋😋, it is always a staple part of putting up the Decs, and at Christmas parties.
When you see it at the stalls at Christmas markets here, it’s a rip off! £5 for a small paper cup … when it £5.99 a bottle in Aldi!

Great way to kick off an apres-ski/snowboard session, feels like a cozy jumper and an open fire all in a cup!!
For those that do like it but want to try something a little different, here's one to put the mulled into; use Thatchers Blood Oranger Cider. Trust me! 😋🍊🥃💥 |

Only got into it relatively recently, way back the nearest thing I came to it was Sanatogen wine.
They toned down the spices in the supermarket version, I read somewhere an old fella got heartburn and taken to hospital after drinking it.
Someone told me if you put it on your nipples you get horny.

We went to a Christmas Market a couple of weeks ago and the mulled wine van ran out of wine after an hour! We don't think they planned ahead suitably.
They packed up and went home, even though there is a wine merchant half a mile down the road. |

I love Mulled Wine.
I love the aromatic and spice against the warming alcohol that evokes everything that I enjoy about Autumn and love about this time of year - the crisp cool weather and the more-ishly fragrant aromatised wine, best served in a paper cup as you meander around a park with a favourite friend. |

As ever, you sum it up beautifully.
It’s also more Christmassy than say hot chocolate with rum, which is excellent on winter evenings |

Hot chocolate with rum?! I’m putting this on my “to try” list! |

I first tried this one winter in Sweden, it’s very good because after a couple you invariably fall over in the snow, but you can’t feel it.
It’s basically self-healing  |
