A warming glass (or mug) of the best mulled wine, lightly spiced with classic festive flavours of cinnamon, nutmeg, star anise and orange peel is one of the classic signs of winter and Christmas celebrations.
Purists will add a homemade festive spice mix to a bottle of simmering red wine, but increasingly, we're turning to pre-made mixes that take out the faff. However these can often be too sweet, too boozy (yes, really!) or just down right foul, and more closely resemble coca cola than a red wine.
