Is it even Christmas if you don’t have mulled wine during the festive season? Like a hug in a mug, its infusion of star anise, cinnamon, sugar and cloves is a winter-warming delight.
But if you don’t have the time - or the motivation - to make your own there’s plenty of ready made options to tickle your taste buds. All you have to do? Pop it in a saucepan on the hob (or into a microwavable jug), and heat through before serving.
To add your own twist, you could always pop in a splash of port or orange juice, or even more spices. Garnish with a slice of orange to serve.
From tasty supermarket tipples to top-notch choices, we've rounded up the best mulled wines below for seriously festive winter fuel. Pass the cinnamon sticks...
