There’s no better way to cozy up in cold weather than with traditional mulled wine, and it’s super easy to make when you pull out your handy slow cooker!
This time last year we were still living in England and I was enjoying the Christmas Markets, shopping and drinking mulled wine. So much fun! This year we’re in our new home in Georgia and while I don’t get those gorgeous European Christmas Markets I am enjoying the warmer temperatures!
This past weekend we were getting together with friends for a little college football and I whipped up a batch of Slow Cooker Mulled Wine to share. It was incredibly easy and delicious and I know I’ll be making it again soon!
This mulled wine recipe is perfect for holiday parties, I would double or triple the recipe for a crowd. My 6 quart Crockpot (this one) could easily hold this recipe doubled, you may need to use a larger slow cooker to triple it.
