\"spiced<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

We have the Romans to thank as it was them who first warmed wine with spices and introduced this delicious drink in Europe. It is traditionally served during the winter holiday season and especially around Christmas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have lived in warm countries for the last 25 years but the tradition has spread widely around the world and wherever we have lived we always managed to find a place or a Christmas market where mulled wine was served. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is spiced wine?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Spiced wine, also known as mulled wine, is usually made with red wine along with various mulling spices. The mix varies depending on the \u2018cook\u2019 and ingredients such as cider, and brandy or rum can be added along with the traditional ingredients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is it called otherwise?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Gl\u00fchwein<\/a> is probably the most well-known name and used in German speaking countries and the Alsace region in France. Scandinavians call it their version \u2018gl\u00f6gg\u2019 and are often tempted to add the stronger alcohol such as vodka and aquavit. The French call it \u2018vin chaud\u2019 which in many other European countries is a direct translation meaning warm wine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The best mulled wine recipe<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We would like to believe that we have the most traditional or the best recipe, but flavours and tastes are personal and there are many other good recipes available too. We have tested and tasted variations of several batches which make us feel confident about our recipe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The spices are nicely balanced with the warmth of the wine and the sweetness of the orange and honey. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This spiced wine recipe is for one bottle of wine but you can easily multiply and prepare this in advance for a party.  Choose a full-bodied wine such as Shiraz or Malbec and never let the wine boil but instead let the spices infuse and they will soon spread Christmas scents throughout your home. Cheers!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
