Mulled Wine
"This Christmas, you can skip the candles – our mulled wine recipe will leave the house smelling amazing as it warms your glasses and tickles your tastebuds! Mulled wine is a time-honored holiday tradition dating back to the Roman age. Wine was warmed to battle against the harsh European winters, while spices were added for their ability to promote health and avoid sickness. Sweeteners were added to offset the unpleasant taste of cheap wine – which was much more abundant than good wine."
