![]() ![]() Just make sure you don’t mix different varieties if making a bigger batch. In saying that, any wine you enjoy drinking otherwise will be fine. These wines are dark and fruity, which is what we want in a mulled wine. In this recipe the fruits and spices used are:įor mulled wine, the best wines are the full-bodied ones like Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, or Grenache. However, you’ll see a combination of fruits (or berries) and whole spices. ![]() What you find in a mulled wine will vary from recipe to recipe. We would strongly suggest using a base that you would enjoy drinking, otherwise, the drink will be only as good as the bottle that you’ve picked to use for it. The only thing that needs to be adjusted is the amount of sugar that is used from ½ cup to ¼ – ⅓ cup depending on how sweet your non-alcoholic wine is and your personal preference. We have tested it with a 0.5% wine and the flavours were different but still really nice. ![]() If you want to have a non or low-alcoholic mulled wine, use a non-alcoholic base. However, this will change the taste of the drink and that’s not what we’re going for in a mulled wine. It would also concentrate the flavour, making it sweeter and more acidic. You would need to bring it up to 78 degrees Celcius (172 degrees Fahrenheit) to pretty much remove the majority of the alcohol. We have also seen some mulled wine recipes that use honey as a sweetener, so this would be one other factor that would make mulled wine not vegan. In that situation, I would err on the side of caution and assume that it’s not vegan unless you know the brand or have checked with the salesperson in the store to confirm otherwise. Sometimes the bottle will clearly state what fining agents they use to process the wine. So when you’re buying the wine, double-check the label and look to see if it says on it that it’s vegan. To learn more about it, read our in-depth guide on this topic. Some wines use animal-based products in processing wine. ![]()
