Mulled Wine.
A little mid winter Christmas mulled wine tipple better suited to the colder months.

Ingredients:
8 cloves
2 cinnamon sticks
½ cup lightly packed Chelsea Dark Cane Sugar
½ tsp freshly grated nutmeg
2 cups water
Rind of 1 orange, cut into long strips
1 Granny Smith apple (skin on), thinly sliced
750ml light, fruity red wine (such as a merlot)

Method:
Heat cloves, cinnamon, dark cane sugar, nutmeg, water, orange rind in a large saucepan over medium heat. Bring to the boil, reduce heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes.
Add red wine and apple. Simmer for another 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Strain and divide among heat-proof serving glasses. Enjoy while warm.

Note: The combination of wintery spices and a rich fruity red wine is the perfect warming winter drink (for adults). For a non-alcoholic version you can use grape or cranberry juice in place of the wine.

Mount Brewing Mermaids Mirth APA

Exceptionally easy drinking for 6% she may be legendary but comes with a cautionary tale...

La Baume Languedoc Rose 2020
Not only does this French Rose from the Languedoc region look absolutely exquisite, it tastes simply divine, and has four gold medals to boot.
A delightfully fresh, pale pink rose made from Grenache and Syrah grapes grown in the Languedoc Region in the South of France. The wine is delicate and bright with a fruity nose with light citrus hints. The palate is fruity and fresh and well balanced. Try with summer salads, grilled meats, chicken tagine or it is delicious on its own.
"Exquisitely fine and enticing, the restrained bouquet shows crunchy apple, strawberry, fig and subtle spice notes, followed by a finely textured palate delivering bright fruit flavors together with excellent focus and persistency. At its best: now to 2023". - Sam Kim, Wine Orbit.
