The Best Mulled Wine Recipe

There’s no better way to get into the Christmas spirit than with a glass of homemade mulled wine. Whether it’s the family tradition of having a glass whilst decorating your home, catching up with friends, or having a cup to hand while browsing the stalls at festive markets, mulled wine is a Christmas classic.

The Ancient Greeks were the first to bring our favourite festive tipple to the forefront, with the purpose to defend their bodies against cold winters. They’d add herbs and spices to make the flavour of the wine more exciting. Fast forward to today, it seems they left quite the impression as mulled wine is enjoyed by millions every year and proves extremely popular across Europe.
