You can make hot mulled wine out of any old wine you want, particularly
with wine that you aren't too crazy about.  (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.
