DH thinks I am, I say, if it's in the shops, it's time to drink it! It certainly makes cleaning a more pleasurable experience.

My MIL said yesterday that the mulled wine season starts when the clocks go back. I'm inclined to agree!

I'll never get fed up of warm spicy wine, Mmm. I don't half fancy a mince pie now though. Smile

Mulled wine is not Christmassy, it is Wintery.

And the weather is rather wintery right now!

I may put it on my list and see if I can get into the warm wine. Smile

Sparkling - you're right, of course, and warm wine is quite quite wrong.
So try this ---> www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/hotbutteredrum_87636 by the lovely Wayne Collins.

Er, it taste of delicious.
The butter just makes it all rich and unctuous, it's not greasy or anything.

I am going to make some tonight. You know, because of the storm.

I'd say that is the voice of reason. Now I'm interested in trying it. Off to Aldi's this week. Hopefully they will have some as well. Grin

My oh my, that Hot Buttered Rum sounds lush.

I just remembered I have a bottle of ready-made mulled wine somewhere (Christmas Raffle prize, I think), which would be perfect for a quick glass without all the mulling palaver.

I am going to make that hot buttered rum with bourbon. If it's good with rum, it can only be better with bourbon.

I always start drinking mulled wine after Hallowe'en, because I try out different recipes. I've been doing it for years, and have a dozen favourites that I like equally.

Found some here the carton lasts for ages. You just add teaspoon each time. I still have some left from last year

In other freezing cold countries, hot or mulled drinks are a winter thing, not a Christmas thing... I think we should all be partaking as soon as the clocks go back!
