About Mulled Wine
The Romans heated wine with spices to fortify against cold winters. Red wine simmered with cinnamon, cloves, star anise, and citrus. Gluhwein is the German version served at Christmas markets. The Vikings drank similar spiced wine. A staple of European winter markets since medieval times.
