12 Mulled Wine Recipes You Need In Your Life

Nothing warms you up better in winter than a hot mug of mulled wine (also known as; hot wine, vin chaud, glögg & glühwein). Some of my fondest memories of travelling through Europe in 2011 was wandering around the Christmas markets in Paris, Brussels, Bruges, Hamburg and throughout Scandinavia sipping on a hot mug of mulled wine.

Of course the Germans & Scandinavians liked to add an extra shot of rum or multiple types of liquor to the blend but the typical mulled wine recipe normally consists of red wine and a combination of mulling spices (cinnamon, cloves, allspice, nutmeg, star anise, peppercorn & cardamom) all heated up and served in a mug or thick glass.

Recipes differ and so does the way it’s served but there’s one thing for sure, it’ll warm you up like there’s no tomorrow. Plus you can also get white mulled wine, as well as mulled cider and mead, so keep an eye out for those!
