(I find that everything made by the Brotherhood winery falls into this category. Try visiting Benmarl in Marlboro NY instead, which makes very good wine indeed.) In any event, you mull wine the same way you mull cider, by heating it gently with cinnamon, cloves, allspice, ginger, and whatever other spices you like. A few slices of orange or lemon are sometimes good. You might want to sweeten it a little, too, and perhaps dilute it with water if it becomes too dense. I usually put the spices in a big tea ball so I can pull them out easily. At this time of year, though, you're better off adding orange, lemon, sugar and club soda, pouring it over ice, and calling it Sangria. John Levine, ima!johnl
