National Mulled Wine Day
The National Mulled Wine Day, March 3rd, warms us up with fruits, spices, and wine. A hot mug of mulled wine hits the spot in the lingering days of winter, filling the house with pleasant aromas.
Mulled spirits are wine and spirits that have been seasoned and spiced. Mulled wine is usually made with red wine made with various spices, fruits, and occasionally lightly sweetened with honey. The popular blends include cinnamon, nutmeg, citrus, vanilla, anise, cloves, raisins, or pears.
On a cold winter's day, the combination of heated spirits and spices is a warm welcome, and has long been used as a balm against sickness at this time of year.
