After all, alcohol itself is a warming agent, and if you hold it on the stove, the effect will increase significantly.
Various additives not only improve the taste of wine, but also make the drink healthy: honey has enormous nutritional value, citrus fruits are a storehouse of vitamin C and are known for their antimicrobial properties, cloves have an antiviral effect, and ginger helps you lose weight. Homemade mulled wine is an excellent remedy for colds (drink at night, and then go to bed, covered with a warm blanket), it is recommended for physical and mental exhaustion.
Making mulled wine
Mulled wine has gained the greatest popularity in European countries that cannot boast of a warm climate: primarily in Scandinavia (where glögg was invented), Great Britain with its frequent rains, as well as in Austria and Germany. Well, the very first recipes for a drink reminiscent of mulled wine appeared in Ancient Rome. Spices were supposed to be put into the wine, but at that time it had not yet been heated. And the inhabitants of Northern Europe tried hot wine in the Middle Ages; they added only one spice - a root that looked and tasted like ginger. In the 18th century, mulled wine began to be sold at Christmas markets. This tradition has taken root and still exists in Europe.
In Russia, mulled wine is also loved as if it were native. In winter, it is served in almost all cafes and restaurants, and an increasing number of housewives decide to “conjure” hot wine at home. There are a great many recipes for making mulled wine, the range of ingredients is extremely wide - so it’s not surprising to get confused in such an assortment. We suggest you improvise with what you have on hand, adding fruit, nutmeg, cinnamon or even pepper to the wine, and take these simple but very important recommendations as a basis.
How to properly prepare homemade mulled wine
Don't let it boil!
- Rule number one is the most important! Under no circumstances should the wine boil. The optimal temperature is about 70 degrees. But, since you yourself cannot determine it with such accuracy, go by eye, or rather, by taste: mulled wine should be so hot that you can drink it without burning yourself. Once brought to the desired temperature, turn it off. After this, you need to cover the pan with a lid and let its contents brew for 10-15 minutes. The drink is ready!
- Spices and fruits are added during cooking. It is better to add cinnamon sticks early, and if you use powder, then at the very end (although it is generally undesirable to use ground spices - the drink may turn out cloudy and will grate unpleasantly on your teeth).
- Dry red table wines (Cabernet, Merlot), semi-dry and semi-sweet red wines (Cahors) are best suited. Of course, spices will change the taste of the wine, but still, you should not, being carried away by savings, buy cheaper wine for mulled wine. However, there is also no need to prepare this drink with aged collection wines: this is considered bad form. In addition, heating will only spoil the taste of such wine.
- Homemade mulled wine can also be made from white wine, but you need to keep in mind that when heated it becomes even more sour.
- If mulled wine contains water, it must be boiled first. You should pour water into the wine carefully, along the edge of the pan, otherwise it may not have the best effect on the taste of mulled wine.
- When cooking, you cannot reheat mulled wine: it will lose its aroma and taste. Therefore, it is better to prepare the drink in small portions and drink immediately.
- If you use citrus fruits, peel them: manufacturers cover oranges, lemons and grapefruits with a thin polymer film to keep them longer, and it is impossible to remove it, even if you thoroughly wash the fruit with hot water.
- If for some reason you do not want or cannot drink alcohol, do not deny yourself the pleasure - prepare it using grape juice. Even children can drink this drink.
- Use your imagination and you will find your perfect mulled wine recipe. You can add not only the usual apples and oranges, but also dried fruits, nuts, juices, strong alcoholic drinks (cognac, rum), berries and all kinds of spices. Cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, ginger, saffron, cardamom, anise, star anise, allspice and even are suitable. The latter, however, should be added only at the very end, otherwise your mulled wine will evoke associations with soup.
- It is logical to serve mulled wine in tall (so that it cools more slowly) and transparent (so that the amazing color of the drink is visible) glasses, of course, hot. Drink in small sips, enjoying the aroma. Warm blanket - optional!

Mulled wine is a warming alcoholic drink. In winter it is served in most reputable establishments. To please yourself with the taste of hot wine, you don’t have to go to a restaurant or cafe. In a moment you will learn how to make mulled wine at home. The classic recipe is very simple, but during the cooking process you need to remember several nuances.
The first recipes for mulled wine appeared in Ancient Rome, but then the wine was mixed with spices without heating. In a Mediterranean climate, there was no point in raising temperatures. The drink became truly popular in the Scandinavian countries of medieval Europe, where spicy hot wine was served at Christmas markets and brewed at home. After several centuries, mulled wine spread throughout the continent and became popular even in regions with warm climates.
Composition of mulled wine
The classic version uses the following ingredients:
- red wine – 750 ml;
- water – 100 ml;
- sugar – 1 tablespoon;
- grated nutmeg – 1 pinch;
- ground ginger – 1 teaspoon;
- cloves - 5 buds;
- cinnamon – 1 stick (or half a teaspoon ground).
The specified amount of ingredients is enough to prepare 4-5 servings. You can experiment with the composition of homemade mulled wine by adding other spices and fruits that you like. But if you are brewing mulled wine for the first time, I advise you to stick to the traditional recipe. Then it will be easier to compare the taste of your versions with the original.
To make non-alcoholic mulled wine, it is enough to replace the wine with grape juice, otherwise the preparation technology remains the same.
Wine for mulled wine
Red table wines, dry, sweet and semi-sweet wines in the mid-price range are well suited for making mulled wine. For example, Merlot, Cabernet, Cahors, Kindzmarauli, Khvanchkara, etc. It is better to avoid fortified wines, since when they are heated, an unpleasant smell of alcohol appears, spoiling the impression of the drink.
You can make mulled wine with white wine. In this case, I recommend adding more sugar (3-4 tablespoons), since white wines have high acidity.
Mulled wine brewing technology
1. Mix spices in a saucepan and add water.
2. Bring the mixture to a boil, remove from heat. Leave for 10 minutes.
3. Strain the broth through a sieve or cheesecloth.
4. Add wine, spice broth and sugar to the pan.
5. Heat over low heat to 65-70°C.
Mulled wine should not be brought to a boil. When steam and the first bubbles appear, the drink should be removed from the heat.
6. Cover with a lid and let sit for 5-10 minutes.
7. Serve hot in tall, clear glasses or ceramic cups that retain heat.
Clarification: If you use store-bought fruits, add only the pulp to the mulled wine. To increase the shelf life, the surface of oranges, lemons and apples is treated with wax or a special polymer film is applied. The wax can be removed by holding the fruit in warm water for 3-5 minutes. It is impossible to get rid of film at home.
Reheated mulled wine loses its aroma and taste. It is better to prepare small portions and drink immediately. They snack on mulled wine with dry cookies, pies and unsweetened fruits. In Germany, it is customary to drink hot wine outdoors with grilled food, such as kebabs and sausages.
As the weather gets colder and the days get shorter, it's always mulled wine season. For a long time, this spicy hot alcoholic drink has been considered a traditional companion for winter evenings, merry festivities, New Year and Christmas markets.
Mulled wine (Glühwein) translated from German means “flaming wine”. Its recipe as a cure for ailments was known back in the thirteenth century (Dr. Arnaldo de Vilanova recommended his patients make and consume this warming drink with spices). Over the centuries, this recipe has undergone changes. As a result, it has become the best remedy for colds and winter blues.
- To prevent mulled wine from losing its taste, do not bring it to a boil (under any circumstances). The optimal heating temperature for it is 70-80 degrees.
- Cook in small portions, as frequent heating will lose flavor and aroma.
- According to many recipes, the ideal base for making mulled wine at home is red wine.
- Use only whole spices. Ground spices will make your drink cloudy.
- Let the drink brew for half an hour (minimum) after it is ready. This will help the aroma of the spices to develop in the best possible way.
Wine selection
Since “flaming wine” is a rather sweet drink due to the ingredients (sugar and honey), it is better to use dry, weak wines for its preparation. Since mulled wine is traditionally made from red wine, the following are best suited as a base:
- dry red table wine (Saperavi, Merlot, Kindzmarauli, Cabernet);
- red semi-dry wine (Khvanchkara);
- inexpensive wine from a cardboard box (from Chile or Argentina).
The cold season is the best time to pamper yourself, as well as your family and friends, by preparing hot, delicious mulled wine with your own hands. Friendly gatherings over a glass or two of this wonderful drink will warm your souls and add joy to your hearts.

Questions and answers about mulled wine
- Which wine is best for mulled wine?
This, as they say, is a matter of taste. However, according to many experts in the field, the combination of citrus fruits with warmed white wine is something unique.
- Why can't you boil mulled wine?
Yes, because the boiled substance will completely lose all alcohol and, accordingly, will lose a significant part of its flavor bouquet.
- Is it possible to reheat mulled wine?
The answer to this question is ambiguous. In principle, a cooled drink can be reheated on the stove or even in the microwave, but you should keep in mind that it will, again, lose some of the alcohol, gaining in return a richer spicy taste.
- Mulled wine in a slow cooker
Adherents of ultra-modern technologies strongly recommend using a kitchen multicooker to prepare the drink we are interested in. According to them, the tightness of this device ensures a higher saturation of the drink with volatile aromas released by many spices and fruits. For the same reason, mulled wine will retain its maximum temperature during the final infusion. As for the temperature itself, it, like the cooking duration (usually 15 minutes), can be programmed in advance.
Fans of multicookers consider the only inconvenience to be the need to select the appropriate cooking mode for different models of the mentioned devices. At the same time, they recommend experimenting with programs such as “stewing,” “frying,” “multi-cook,” and “steamer.”
On our own behalf, we would like to add that this kitchen appliance can only be used if all the necessary ingredients are initially loaded. If the drink recipe requires their gradual addition, then the multicooker will be completely useless.
- Mulled wine on the fire
In principle, you can brew mulled wine outdoors using a fire. To do this, at a minimum, you need to have wine, a pot, a stable tripod and something suitable for stirring the contents of a camp vessel. If you are an experienced hiker, then you may have sugar and perhaps even allspice in stock. In addition, it doesn’t hurt to wander around the neighborhood in search of some small plot of land and beg its owners for a couple of apples, pears or plums.
Well, or you can do without romance. Namely, plan everything ahead of time and take with you not only wine, lemon, honey and spices, but also a special hiking thermometer. For especially down-to-earth individuals, there are always ready-made wine mixtures waiting for them on store shelves and requiring only simple heating.
At the same time, no matter what option you choose, the main thing is not to forget to stir the contents of the pot and have time to remove it from the tripod in time.
