Christmas is considered to be a time for indulgence. It is perhaps the only time of year when festive spices of warming cinnamon, star anise and cloves are brewed and sipped in mulled wine concoctions.
This year Aldi are putting a spin on the classic mulled wine recipe. For the first time in the budget supermarket's history, they are selling a salted caramel mince pie mulled wine for just £3.99.
Aldi's festive tipple is an unconventional twist on a firm festive favourite in the UK and beyond. Visit any Christmas market and you will see vats of mulled wine being gently brewed, whilst shoppers clutch warm mugs of Glühwein or mulled wine.
