Of course it's ok to drink mulled wine in January, it's a winter drink. I found a non alcoholic bottle of mulled wine in the cupboard the other night, it's delicious. It's cold and frosty here and the mulled wine is the perfect drink right now.

It's still Christmas in my house anyway, the tree and lights are still up, I love the cosy atmosphere in this cold weather and having a warm drink of mulled wine in the evening is just lovely.

No idea what that was about?
Yes drink it anyway or save it for the summer and have it chilled with fruit and lemonade, it’s just like Sangria!

It’s officially Christmas until Candlemas, which is the 2nd February, so feel free!

If everyone said no would you pour it away?

I don't get the idea that stuff is just for Christmas! We are v much still in the same season so eating mince pies, nice meat etc.
Also we are in Christmas reductions!

We’re drinking some now!

I had one yesterday in a café with my lunch.

Go for it! I definitely think it's a winter drink rather than a Christmas drink.

We’re not even halfway through winter yet, go for it.

GreenPoms · 03/01/2026 18:42

It’s a winter drink, not an exclusively a Christmas one.

Is that all that's left? 🤔🤣

Drink what you want when you want. Where still making out way through the Christmas food

When I lived in France it was on offer all winter in the pubs (near the Alps).
