About
Mulled Wine might be a popular winter-time beverage, but it doesn’t get the attention it deserves! Did you know that Mulled Wine has its origins in Ancient Rome? It’s likely that Mulled Wine has been served for thousands of years – Romans used to heat wine with spices like pepper and just a few other ingredients. It’s since evolved to include cinnamon, nutmeg, clove and more! Mulled Wine is also called Glühwein in Germany or Sweden, where folks make the drink with apples and oranges.
Mulled Wine Alternatives
Mulled Wine can also be made with different types of alcohol, like white or rosé wine (or even dry cider). So whether you prefer your Mulled Wine on its own or with a bit more spice hidden beneath all of those warm flavors, there’s something for everyone this festive season!
