The beauty of mulled wine is that you can take an inexpensive dry wine and transform it into a priceless, warming, healthy (when consumed in moderation), aromatic, and beloved beverage. This mulled wine is brewed with white wine and, unlike its red counterpart, has a lighter flavor. Add honey, spices, citrus zest, and a splash of Calvados, and serve hot, with lemon and orange slices in each mug.
