mulled wine - do you honestly like it ?

[MorticiaAnnSpookington]

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

It's an awful thing to do to wine.

You need to drink it outside, in the cold, by a bonfire or on the skislopes. THEN it's lovely and warming.

At any other time I'd rather the unadultered red.

I like wine, I like fruit, I love spices, but heating them up together doesn't work for me at all.

I don't like sangria either.

Would rather drink wine and eat fruit separately!

love it. it's the best thing about this time of year.

Horrible stuff.

NO! Tis nasty!

Yum!

i can't even tolerate the smell of sangria afer one memorable occassion involving too much sangria combined with sailing and parasailing in Sanibel, Florida.

boak.

Mmmm mulled wine yummy, we had it instead of bucks fizz as arrival drink for our wedding (Dec27)

it's a drink for people who aren't drinkers.

I love it. Drink far too much of it every Xmas.

Love it. I have a bit of brandy in, mmmmmmmmmmm!

No, too busy drinking quality stuff to do that wine!

no, not at all

love it also love winter pimms.. delicious!

Winter Pimms?

Pimms number 3 is winter pimms - fantastic.. sorry did I say I liked it?

no, hot fruity things are wrong - I wouldn't want a Lemsip either and lemon tea makes me heave

There was a pub we used to go to, in the winter there was a thing on the bar (equivalent of a beer pump clip type thingy), mulled wine. Order it, there's a sound like a kettle coming to the boil, and the barmaid hands over hot mulled wine.

Very nice, too drinkable.

Have been put off since having a glass of what was allegedly mulled wine in a pub last year. Whatever it was, it was the most awful drink i have ever tasted bar none and I had to refrain from retching in front of new DP and friends at the time

Every other one has been lovely though - better in a mug! - so will give it another go this time around

Best mulled wine has brandy, sugar and OJ in - I always get lots of complements when I use that recipe.

that's the second vote for OJ, brandy and sugar recipe.

BRING IT ON THEN!

share your recipes for this.

also, share what type of red wine you are using.
