The 6 Best Red Wines for Mulled Wine

The article from Food & Wine discusses the best red wines to use for making mulled wine, emphasizing that the choice of wine significantly affects the final flavor. It suggests opting for a medium to full-bodied red wine with good acidity and fruit-forward flavors, which can stand up to the spices and sweetness added during the mulling process. Recommended varieties include Merlot, Zinfandel, and Grenache for their rich fruit profiles, while avoiding overly tannic or high-alcohol wines like Cabernet Sauvignon. The article also mentions that inexpensive wines work well since the mulling process masks many of the wine's subtler characteristics, but it's still important to choose a wine you'd enjoy drinking on its own. Additionally, it provides tips on balancing sweetness and acidity, and suggests adding ingredients like citrus, cinnamon, cloves, and star anise to enhance the wine's flavors.
