Choosing your wine

Jumping forward five centuries, I turn to Mrs Beeton, Delia's Victorian great-grandmother, for advice. She's also pretty vague ("in making preparations like the above, it is very difficult to give the exact proportions of ingredients like sugar and spice, as what quantity might suit one person would be to another quite distasteful" she explains, helpfully), but at least the list of ingredients is more manageable: cloves, grated nutmeg, cinnamon, wine and sugar. Choose the Right Varietal. The best wine for mulled wine is dry and full-bodied, like Cabernet Sauvignon, Grenache, Zinfandel, or Syrah. These will stand up to the other flavors and ensure the spiced wine won’t be too sweet. The main components when choosing a non-alcoholic wine are essentially price and accessibility. If you have access to a wide variety of them, then feel free to experiment and try out different types.

Rich maroon in colour, Mulled Wine is both sweet and spicy. Deliciously aromatic, Mulled Wine is the perfect non-alcoholic festive tipple.

Hibiscus flowers ( UK Link / US Link ) and whole rosehips ( UK Link / US Link ). To make mulled wine non alcoholic these loose herbal teas are used to replace red wine. They have a similar sweet and tart flavour to cranberries. For the wine version, you'll need a bottle of non-alcoholic red wine of your choice. The wine you choose depends on your taste. If you like a sweeter, mellow wine, try a Merlot. If you have more of a dry preference, a Cabernet Sauvignon works well. I've written a round up of the best alcohol-free red wine too. While brandy is classic in mulled wine, it’s not entirely necessary. If you don't like brandy, or don't want to buy a bottle, skip it—all the other components will be lending plenty of boozy, spiced flavor to every sip. To add sweetness to your drink, you can use honey instead of normal sugar. | Image from zdorova.ya_eda

On the off chance that you have mulled wine leftover, you can actually store it right in the refrigerator. Simply let it cool completely and place it in airtight jars or containers for up to 3 days. Remember to remove the whole spices before storing it, and then simply reheat on the stovetop or in your slow cooker on “warm.”Once you have your sachets made and placed in your jars, all that’s left is tying your tags onto the jars using ribbon or twine. Although I like the idea of using honey, I find it has a rather assertive flavour which clashes with the wine itself, as does soft brown sugar – plain white caster sugar is the best option here I'm afraid. If you like cardamon, add a cardamon pod (opened) to the mix for an another, different note. It is delicious.
