Spiced wine is a must-have at many Christmas tables. Known as glühwein in Germany and Austria, vin chaud in France, mulled wine in Great Britain, and vin brulé in Italy, this wine cocktail is a favorite for the Holidays Season. Prepare it at home with an attractive Syrah or the inevitable Cabernet Sauvignon from Viña Maipo.
INGREDIENTS
750 ml of Syrah or Cabernet Sauvignon wine from Viña Maipo
Put all the spices and the orange peel in a wide pot. Add the sugar and heat until the aromas start to come out. Wet the bottom with a little wine, just to cover the sugar, and heat stirring with a wooden spoon until it dissolves.
PREPARATION: steps 2
Add the rest of the red wine, mixing well. Heat to medium temperature, without letting it come to a boil. Cook over medium-low heat for about 30 minutes, making sure that the temperature does not rise too much.
PREPARATION: steps 3
Check the sweetness point and add a little more sugar if necessary. Strain to remove the spices, store in a clean bottle, or serve hot by adding an orange slice and a cinnamon stick to each glass.
