Mulled Wine

I'm convinced that mulled wine is the most delicious, festive, warming drink there is, best enjoyed with friends and family on cold winter's nights. We like to drink it while we deck our halls every December. It's easy to make a big batch of this and keep it warm in a slow cooker, which makes mulled wine a great alternative to a cold punch. And best of all, it makes your whole house smell like Christmas! Forget the potpourri and just make this instead.

If anyone tries to tell you the alcohol cooks out of mulled wine, they are LYING TO YOU. Okay, so maybe not, but this most certainly is still alcoholic. And as a word of caution, in my experience, warm booze hits you harder and faster. So mind your P's and Q's, and drink this responsibly.
