This wine is a perfect addition to the holiday festivities. A warm glass of mulled red wine by the fire as you relax the night away. The Ginger Sea Salt compliments the sweetness of mulled wine providing an impeccable balance. Just when you taste the fruity, sweet, and deep flavor of mulled red wine, the complimentary tang of ginger tingles back to amplify it to an even deeper, more intense flavor. This wine is best served just after cooling off, warm and soothing. If being made for a holiday gathering, a Crockpot does wonders to keep it warm all night and keep the flavor alive. If needed to be stored, it is recommended that the mulled wine be refrigerated, reheated, and consumed within 4 days.
