March 3rd
National Mulled Wine Day

Mulled wine is a warm beverage made from red wine and various spices and fruits. It is a popular drink during the winter months, especially around Christmas and other holidays. To make mulled wine, red wine is heated on the stove with a mixture of spices such as cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg, along with citrus fruits like oranges or lemons. Some recipes may also include additional ingredients such as honey, sugar, or brandy. The mixture is heated until the wine is warm and the flavors of the spices and fruits have infused into the drink. The warm beverage is typically served in mugs or glasses and is a popular choice for warming up on cold winter nights. Mulled wine has been enjoyed for centuries and is popular in many countries around the world, including Germany, Austria, and Scandinavia. In some regions, it is also known as "gluhwein" or "spiced wine".
