What should I serve mulled wine in?

[Steala]

Will it crack the wine glasses?

Thanks!

I wondered this last year, and served it in mugs with a cinnamon stick to swizzle. It looked right.

oh, how I love mulled wine..mmmm

a short fat tumbler type glass might be suitable, the sort you could hold with both hands to warm them up. Or those punch mugs, about the size of a tea cup with a handle but made out of glass, not china.

I don't think glass will crack because the mulled wine is only warm, not boiling but cheaper thicker glass probably more suitable than fine expensive glass.

And I would also try to warm the glass a bit before pouring hot liquid in.

Ooooooh, I really fancy of glass of mulled wine now!!!!!!!!

Wine glasses are fine for very warm mulled wine. I suppose if you poured furiously boiling wine into them they might break. And worse, all the alcohol would have evaporated! You could warm the glasses first as an extra precaution.

I have used those short-stemmed half-pint [cross-eyed emoticon] lager glasses before - they were very cheap and thus the glass was quite thick.

Enjoy it whatever you end up serving it in!

nametaken - snap!

mugs are great with mulled wine in as you can warm your hands

Thanks everyone. Tumblers survived!

EPE is amazing. I was wondering whether you serve mulled wine in glasses or mugs, so did a general Google search ' How to serve mulled wine?', and one of the first answers I got ( after mulled wine recipes), was this one!

It also came up with a Zombie Thread Alert, warning me it was a dead thread.

Sorry, mumsnet is good. Wrong forum!
