Also known as spiced wine, hot wine, glogg, gluhwein, and so on depending on where you are in the world, mulled wine is especially popular during Christmas or the holiday season. Red wine, oranges, cloves and honey are the main ingredients used in making mulled wine, although the ingredients of the booze might vary depending on the country.
The history of mulled wine dates back to the 18th century, particularly in the Christmas market of Germany. The German winemakers concocted bottled mulled wines for sale in the local Christmas market. As time passed by, people from each country added their own touches to the drink.
Mulled wine is served hot, because of which it is usually served in a ceramic or a porcelain mug. The handle of the mug makes it much easier to sip, shielding one’s hands from the heat of the spiced wine. Furthermore, the mulled wine can be cooked in an oven or a stainless steel pot. To keep it warm for longer, you can put it in a thermos or can reheat it.
