Mulled wine is a traditional, seasonal libation that many cultures enjoy during the winter months. Today, we’re exploring the time period that popularized this wine and various ways we enjoy this cup of warmth.

Links for things mentioned in this episode:

• March 3rd: National Mulled Wine Day
• Getting Cozy with Mulled Wine (Sip & Swirl, March 2021): Here’s a list of various ingredients that you can use to make your next cup of mulled wine.

Thank you for listening to another delicious episode of Voices of the Vine. You can find show notes for our episodes by subscribing to the DGW Sip & Swirl, or by visiting the Sip & Swirl Archive, both available at dgwinemaking.com/winelovers. That’s dgwinemaking.com/winelovers with an “s” at the end.

We love to talk about tasting wine on this podcast. Please remember that our podcast is about wine appreciation and education, but that we both support and encourage responsible alcohol consumption. Additionally, both of us are winemaking professionals, so we do not get paid for tasting wine. All opinions expressed here on our podcast are those of ours alone.

Today’s episode is produced, researched, and hosted by both Denise Gardner and myself, Virginia Mitchell. If you enjoyed today’s episode, we’d love for you to subscribe to Voices of the Vine on your favorite podcast platform. Plus, listener reviews go a long way for podcasters. If you could leave us a review on your platform of choice, we’d truly appreciate it.

Thanks for listening.
