Mulled wine is primarily associated with the winter season and Christmas holidays. It is made from red wine infused with a variety of spices such as cinnamon, anise, cloves, citrus peels, and ginger. Served warm, the wine’s spicy flavors and rich aroma are especially pronounced, each sip chasing away the cold and creating a festive holiday atmosphere.

The origins of this venerable beverage can be traced back to the Roman Empire, and over time, its variations spread across Europe—Glühwein in Germany, glögg or glögi in the Nordic countries, and Vin Chaud in France.
Mulled wine is delightful on its own but also pairs perfectly with any Christmas dish—stews, cheeses, nuts, Christmas cake, or cookies.
