I mean, yeuch! I like my wine as, well, wine! I don't want all that weird stuff in it.

And warm?! What!! Chilled for white, room temp for red - thank you very much!!

No I don't like it either Xmas Smile

DaveGrohlsgirl · 16/12/2012 18:42

Hate the stuff...much prefer gin!!

MonaLotte · 16/12/2012 18:43

I love it!

BIWIshYouAMerryChristmas · 16/12/2012 18:44

I don't like it either. Waste of good wine.

(But then cinnamon and clove are also spices I don't like very much)

AnyaKnowIt · 16/12/2012 18:44

Its vile...

CharlotteBronteSaurus · 16/12/2012 18:44

it's revolting
as are fruit teas, hot ribena, and any other hot drink involving fruit.

Mrsrudolphduvall · 16/12/2012 18:44

It is shit.
I do like a snowball though.

Schlock · 16/12/2012 18:44

Yeurrck.

Itsaboatjack · 16/12/2012 18:45

I love it Xmas Grin

OvenReady · 16/12/2012 18:47

Crikey, MrsR - I haven't had a snowball in YEARS!! Gonna go find me the wee bottles you used to get, probably gathering dust at the back of the booze section in Morrisons....

It's bloody horrible, the smell of it mulling on the stove makes me want to mildly gag.

LifeIsBetterInFlipFlops · 16/12/2012 18:49

Haha...aka mauled wine, I love it though.

WhoKnowsWhereTheMistletoes · 16/12/2012 18:49

I don't mind it but it's definitely on the list of things I wouldn't miss if I never had them again.

GrannyRatAteAllTheMincePies · 16/12/2012 18:50

Mulled wine is ok but mulled cider is amazing!

BendyBobsBrusselsSprouts · 16/12/2012 18:50

I don't either. It tastes like hot Benylin cough mixture. Yeuch. (and I'll drink most thingsBlush)

Mrsrudolphduvall · 16/12/2012 18:51

And you can't even knock it back as you get bits of cinnamon stick, cloves and other twiggy shit caught in your teeth, or choke to death.

Should be banned, along with stollen and Heston Blumenthal mincepies sprinkles with reindeer shit.

OvenReady · 16/12/2012 18:55

Ooh, now...that's put a twist on things. Hmmm...stollen..I could eat my own body weight in stollen. Lovely marzipan and fruit and icing sugar....... [I've got a box hidden away from DS somewhere...hang on...]...

No you're not the only one. It's too sweet. So many unnecessary tastes mingling into the wine.

freerangechickens · 16/12/2012 18:59

Retchworthy.

BendyBobsBrusselsSprouts · 16/12/2012 18:59

And Punch. God I hate punch. People make a great song and dance about 'ooh watch out for that punch it's so strong'. It usually tastes and looks like a big bowl of fruity dregs. I don't like food things floating about in drinks.

MickeyTheShortOne · 16/12/2012 18:59

Yeuuuch me either!!! much rather have jack daniels. or baileys. or rose [frgin]

MickeyTheShortOne · 16/12/2012 19:00

Xmas Grin MrsRudolph

I love the smell of mulled wine, the taste not so much. LOVE mulled cider though.
