It always disappoints me if I'm offered mulled wine - would rather a decent glass of untampered with red

yes I do! made it for the first time last christmas and will be making it again. I am a sucker for seasonally appropriate drinks .

I would maybe draw the line at Snowballs for Christmas but otherwise I will drink for the occasion!

I love mulled wine.

AbbaFan · 26/10/2008 20:37

Love it, but with a mince pie!

BigBadMouseInHauntedHouse · 26/10/2008 20:38

OOOOOooooooh yes! I love it

lilolilmanchester · 26/10/2008 20:39

I love it, but know people who hate it so always offer "untampered with" as well as mulled.

Flum · 26/10/2008 20:39

I love it too!

MorticiaAnnSpookington · 26/10/2008 20:39

yep love it, but only when its proper mulled wine

not that nasty stuff for £2.99 from the supermarket that is only about 6% alcohol!

I make my own and it is potent!

MorticiaAnnSpookington · 26/10/2008 20:46

well I'm in the minority here

lilolilmanchester · 26/10/2008 20:46

I do have my civil moments Morticia!

expatinscotland · 26/10/2008 20:47

No, no I really don't like it.

BroccoliSpears · 26/10/2008 20:47

  • that's better.
themoon666 · 26/10/2008 20:48

Vile stuff.

Agree with the poster who said its just old spicy twigs

PillowOfDOOM · 26/10/2008 20:49

Love, love, love it

MegGriffin · 26/10/2008 20:51

I Like it, and snowballs

ohIdoliketobebesidethe · 26/10/2008 20:53

scaryfucker is right. It has to be well made otherwise you get a load of tickly grit at the back of your throat. The well made stuff is fantastic though - fills the room with all those smells that create an image of christmases you'd like to be able to remember but somehow can't...

AbbaFan · 26/10/2008 20:53

ooohhhh snowballs.... I drank loads of those last year!

ja9 · 26/10/2008 20:53

LOVE IT

LynetteScavo · 26/10/2008 20:54

ShePeeTeePee · 26/10/2008 20:55

slurp, hic!

Beachcomber · 26/10/2008 20:55

Smells nice but tastes like shit.

Give me an unmucked about with glass of red any day.

PortofinoPumpkin · 26/10/2008 20:55

Oooh yes - roll on the Xmas markets! It IS the taste of winter to me.

TheOtherMaryPumpkins · 26/10/2008 20:57
