Thought I'd give it a shot at home. Would love some ideas if you guys have any, beyond a basic Google search. Also, what kind of wine do/would you use? I've read in the past you don't use expensive wine for this, but I don't think I want to go with the cheap-arse boxed version, do I?

Mulled wine recipe?
Holidays coming up... I had this at a Middle-Eastern restaurant once and LOVED it - and I am NOT a wine drinker, at ALL.

I've been experimenting with a few box wines lately and Bota Box is currently my favorite "beverage" quality wine brand.
Here's a link to some reviews: http://www.winespectator.com/webfeat...-Score-Reviews

I wouldn't mull a quality bottle of wine. You're heating it and spicing it and maybe even diluting or adulterating it with other alcohol. That kind of demands a value wine.
Bota Box is right up the alley for this. I use it for all my cooking, when it's on sale. You want something drinkable on it's own, but not something fancy.

But, I had some mulled wine and actually enjoyed it, could drink a few glasses of that. So... I decided to give it a try. Now, if one wants to adulterate good single malt, then I'll take issue with it. But wine... wine ain't no special product or protected class.

"Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy." ~Benjamin Franklin
Here is my recipe, it is similar to German Gluwein:
Colonial Wassail
1 - 750ml bottle inexpensive Merlot such as YellowTail
2 cups Cranberry Juice Cocktail
3/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup lemon juice
2 cinnamon sticks
Optional: Spike with 1/2 cup or more of Brandy when it is done.
Combine everything in a crock pot or pot on the stove (cover or you will loose the alcohol) and heat to desired temp - go slow so the cinnamon can infuse. I always make a double batch if more than two-three people are drinking it.
