Mulled wine is a spiced wine made with red wine and a variety of whole spices, served warm. It's typically served in the winter and around the holidays. What Wine Is Best for Mulled Wine? A full-bodied wine with plenty of tannins is best for mulling because it holds its own against the spices. We recommend using a dry red wine, such as merlot or cabernet sauvignon. Can I Make Mulled Wine on the Stovetop? Yes, you can. Combine the ingredients in a large pot or Dutch oven. Cover and cook on the lowest possible setting of the stovetop burner until hot, about 30 minutes.
