PEDESTRIAN.TV has teamed up with Grant Burge to bring you the best-mulled wine recipes to heat you up this season.
Well folks, it’s finally the introverts’ favourite season and the biggest debate of all is right around the corner – what’s the ultimate winter drink, mulled wine or hot chocolate?
If you have the flavour palate of someone who still orders chicken nuggies at family dinners, your answer is as predictable as your dating profile. However, if you’re a connoisseur that seeks a more refined and exotic taste, the mulled wine hits a spot that can only be hit on a cold, dark winter night, donning your favourite sweater.
While you could crawl out from under the covers for a glass of mulled at the local, standing in long queues and paying an arm and a leg for one glass is turning me off. Instead, I’m opting to DIY.
And if you’re like Zach Shallcross from The Bachelor and aren’t familiar with how mulled wine is prepared, worry not stranger, we’ve got you covered.
The best-mulled wines start with a solid red wine base, so be sure to head to your local Dan Murphy’s or BWS and grab a Grant Burge Barossa Ink Shiraz Bagnum to enhance that dark, fruity flavour profile. This choice of wine comes in a 1.5-litre bag and will stay fresh for 30 days, letting ya satiate those mulled wine cravings throughout the month.
Here are five of the best TikTok-approved mulled wine recipes.
