Nothing warms you up on a cold winter evening like a glass of mulled wine. This drink has been considered a symbol of comfort and celebration for a long period of time. Its history dates back to the times when wine was mixed with spices to improve its flavor and preservation. Eventually, warmed wine became popular, especially in countries with cold climate.

 

Today, mulled wine is an integral part of winter celebrations of Christmas and New Year in many countries and has become a symbol of a wonderful holiday mood. But the world does not stand still, and classic recipes are changing. Modern gourmets are increasingly experimenting with flavors, combining traditional recipes with unexpected ingredients.

 

The AZNAURI brand offers unique drinks with fruity flavors that will change the way you think about this winter drink. Bright notes of peach, strawberry, black currant and cherry will add freshness and depth to your mulled wine.

 

Drinks from the Fruit Collection series will be a discovery for mulled wine lovers. This unique collection is the result of fruitful cooperation between winemakers in search of new flavor combinations. Each drink combines selected European grapes and natural fruit extracts.

 

How can you prolong the magic of the holidays and create an atmosphere of real comfort? Here are some inspirational ideas.

 

Idea one: an evening with the family

 

Gather the family, make a delicious apple strudel together, and enjoy warm conversations. Peach mulled wine from AZNAURI Peach will perfectly complement the atmosphere. When you do something together, it unites and brings you closer.

The basic steps for making mulled wine are always the same: pour wine into a container, add fruit and spices. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly but not bringing to a boil. Then add honey to taste, stir and remove from heat. Let it brew for 5-10 minutes and serve hot.
