We can thank 2nd Century Romans for the advent of Mulled Wine. It is thought that they began warming wine over the winter months to defend their insides from the relentless cold weather. The spices were added to mask the unpalatable flavour of the poor-quality wines they used to heat. It was in the following century that the Romans began to significantly expand their empire and with it, they spread the fondness for Mulled Wine.
As the centuries passed, the appreciation of mulled wine died down across Europe. That is, except for Sweden where the drink and a variation with milk remained popular, particularly with the monarchy. Glögg, as it came to be known, was shipped around Europe in the 19th Century and individual wineries began selling their own bottles with recipes on how to make the perfect concoction. An appreciation that very much continues to this day, Mulled Wine is enjoyed everywhere from Swiss Alpine chalets, to canal-side Amsterdam cafés, to cosy British living rooms.
