What Is Mulled Wine?

Mulled wine is a spiced wine made with red wine and a variety of whole spices, served warm. It’s typically served in the winter and around the holidays.

What Wine Is Best for Mulled Wine?

A full-bodied wine with plenty of tannins is best for mulling because it holds its own against the spices. We recommend using a dry red wine, such as merlot or cabernet sauvignon.

Can I Make Mulled Wine on the Stovetop?

Yes, you can. Combine the ingredients in a large pot or Dutch oven. Cover and cook on the lowest possible setting of the stovetop burner until hot, about 30 minutes.

Nutrition Facts(per serving)

  • Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
