What is Mulled Wine?

Mulled wine is a winter tradition here at the Blue Goose and we are sure our guests will quickly adopt this delightful winter cocktail. It's perfect for all your holiday gatherings, dinner parties, or even those lazy cold Saturdays at the house. 

Mulled wine originated in the 2nd century, It was created by the Romans who would heat wine to defend their bodies against the winter. As the Romans conquered much of Europe throughout the next century, their love for mulled wine spread across their empire and the regions they traded with.

​As its popularity grew throughout the middle ages, Europeans would mix heated wine with spices they believed  promoted wellness and defended against sickness. Hence the modern drink, which includes cloves, cinnamon, nutmeg, and hints of orange.
