Homemade mulled wine is red wine heated with warming spices (cinnamon, cloves, star anise, orange peel) and sweetened with sugar or honey. A typical serving (200ml) at around 10-12% ABV after some alcohol evaporation contains 2-2.4 units and 200-250 kcal including sugar. The spices contribute aromatic compounds and trace polyphenols. Sugar content depends entirely on the recipe.
Use a quality red wine (something you'd drink on its own) and go easy on the sugar — the spices provide sweetness. Simmer rather than boil to preserve polyphenols and aromatic compounds. Serves best at 65-70°C.

* % Daily Value is the proportion of an adult
EU Nutrient Reference Value (NRV) supplied by 100g of this food.
NRVs are the labelling standard — the same basis as the “%RI” figures printed on
food packaging — so these percentages are directly comparable with a shop label.
They are a single adult figure and do not vary by age or sex, which is why they
sometimes differ from UK dietary reference values: the NRV for vitamin C is 80mg
where the UK RNI is 40mg. When Nutriofia assesses your own intake in the
reports and trackers, it uses the age- and sex-specific UK values instead.
Fibre is shown without a percentage. Our fibre values use the UK
Englyst NSP method, while the published 30g daily goal is an AOAC figure — the two
are measured differently and a single percentage would mislead.
