Mulled wine

Has anyone ever done hot mulled wine? I have the mulling spices from Cost Plus. I was wondering if the bottle of Petit Syrah we have would be good for that? I think it is kind of a fruity red? (I'm not much of a wine drinker) I'm going to make it for a party in a few weeks and wanted to test it out first. All the recipes for do it yourself online (Martha, etc) seem to add sugar too, but the mulling spices are basically just the spices, will it need to be sweetened?

Thanks for any advice/opinions! :)

  • Oh! I just read the package better and it does say to add sugar, so scratch that. But thoughts on wine choice still appreciated!

  • I love hot mulled wine. Sooo good. I get the Williams Sonoma mix. I just use cheap red wine because it doesn't have to be high quality. So I will use 2 buck Chuck from Trader Joes. I will do Cabernet Savignon or Merlot. Very good indeed!

    DO NOT USE A GOOD BOTTLE! Just use something cheap, very cheap. :-) Love mulled wine and mulled cider.
