Mulled wine for 200 - anyone with catering experience?!

We've got an event coming up where a glass of mulled wine needs to be served to every ticket holder. We plan to heat the wine up in advance and put it in insulated flasks. Thinking about logistics on the night and the available space. We need at least two stations serving the wine to deal with the volume. Some people won't want wine so we can offer teas and coffees (boiling water in another insulated jug or jugs) or a soft drink for children.

If you attended this kind of event would you expect to be given the wine on arrival or in the interval? If you have some on arrival, would you buy another in the interval? If we do additional servings we'll have to buy more wine to ensure we can serve everyone.

I just would like it to be fairly slick service and for the interval not to go on too long. We have a team of people helping.

Another vote for urns. Quick, clean, labour non-intensive.

I had a bad experience on the PTA with an insurance claim made against the school because someone spilt mulled wine on someone else. I know it's unlikely but just be aware!

Thanks everyone. We already have a temporary event notice at the request of the venue, even though it's not technically required, that was their preference.

Use heated urns. You will have to have so many thermos and heating mueller wine elsewhere it would be chaos

Hot muelled wine in urn x2

Hot spiced apple juice or hot fruit winter spiced tea for non alcoholic ( you can buy a apple/ orange/ cinnamon type tea they sell at Xmas markets)
