Anyone had mulled wine before?
It looks like a really comfy way to get shitfaced on a cold winters day, but I'm not sure if it's worth the time and effort that goes into making it.

Last winter, my mom gave me three gallons of homemade wine that was almost spoiled so I invited some friends and had a mulled wine party. Turned out great and comfy af.
Here's my recipe:
>pour wine into pot on low heat
>toast whole spices in a dry pan:
>>clove
>>cinnamon
>>allspice
>>star anise
>tie into a cheesecloth bag when fragrant and add to wine
>zest and juice oranges and add to wine
>steep until flavorful
>serve in mugs
>offer freshly grated nutmeg
Adjust quantities to taste

Toast clove, allspice, and vanilla.
Dump in your wine, apple cider, and orange juice
Grate ginger and nutmeg
Lemon and orange slices
1 hour wait, brandy, bitters, and Wa La!
By the way, I prefer manischewitz. And lean.

Very common in Northern europe and germany.
Super nice, we often serve it with raisins and almonds aswell.

Not nice. No hit. Won't buy. Don't taste good. Sweet like soda warm like piss. Don't drink. No good. Please don't drink.

I wouldn't say it's that much effort, just dump spices in with the wine and simmer a bit.
My friend likes to make mulled apple cider in big quantities in a crock pot; I'm sure you could apply the same thing to wine as well. I'm a lightweight, but in my family we've always added rum to compensate for evaporated alcohol.
mulled cider is better IMO but thats just personal preference
its normally pretty weak, i don't think you'll be getting shitfaced if this is all you drink but yeah its cozy as fuck, depends on the situation, its definitely worth it on christmas, adds to the atmosphere and you always have people to share it with
