Notizen

What is the best wine for mulled wine? Personally, I like to use dry wines like Merlot, Malbec, or Cabernet Sauvignon. These prevent the mulled wine from being too sweet and balance out all the spices. There's no need to splurge on an expensive bottle—just choose a wine you enjoy or check out our article on the major types of red wine to get a sense of what you might like.

Mulled wine is best enjoyed day of, but if you have any left over let it cool completely before transferring to an airtight container and storing in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Reheat on the stovetop when ready to enjoy.
