mulled wine trivia
Mulled wine is enjoyed all over the world, with each region putting its own unique spin on it. For instance, in Germany, it's called "Gluhwein," in Sweden, it's "Glogg," and in France, it's known as "Vin Chaud." The scent of mulled wine is almost as delightful as its taste. The warm, spicy aroma can instantly put you in a festive mood, making it a favourite during the holiday season. While it is most popular in the winter, there's no rule against enjoying it year-round. Some people make chilled versions for summer gatherings, known as "mulled wine sangria." Mulled wine pairs well with various foods, like cheese platters, roasted meats, and even chocolate desserts, making it a versatile choice for entertaining.
Mulled wine has a history that dates back to ancient times. The Romans were known to heat their wine and add spices to it, believing it had medicinal properties. They called it "Hippocras" after the Greek physician Hippocrates.
During the Middle Ages in Europe, mulled wine became a popular festive drink, especially during Christmas. It was often referred to as "Yule Glogg" or "Wassail" and was used in rituals to bless the apple orchards.
