Recipe Introduction

It’s March 3rd! Today is National Mulled Wine Day - the biggest wine event of them all! Unfortunately, it has yet to become a bank holiday but we are working on that. Ideally, it would be a day when children still have to go to school but grown-ups can stay home and enjoy mulled wine. Share a mug of the warm spicy stuff with a friend or loved one this evening. It just makes you feel good - too much might have the opposite effect, though. Gluhwein
