What is Mulled Wine ? |
| In Sweden mulled wine is
very well-known under the name "Glögg" and
enjoyed by most people during Christmas time. Mulled wine is most often spiced-up
red wine, but white wine can be used as well. Generally it is served hot or warm. |
|
Maybe the cold climate in Scandinavia is a reason for
adding spices to a wine and serve it warm. Mulled wine is often used
after being outdoor in winter, and coming indoors to nicely thaw out both
body and mind. Also in the European Alps
mulled wines are well-known under the name "Glühwein"
in Germany and "Vin Chaud"
in France. |

Isn't the Quality Killed ? |
| Often mulled wine is made on poor
wine as a way to make it at all drinkable. But to the point - by using
wine from Villa Sandahl, you can prepare a top luxury mulled wine. And
if you have a quality wine as a base, it doesn't need to be overly sweet
and doesn't need to be very warm. |
|
Traditionally mulled wine is used alone or with Swedish ginger bread
biscuits, in Sweden named "pepparkakor".
Rather common is also to add some raisins and almonds into the mulled
wine and stir with a small spoon. |
