With a new electric socket in our small church vestry, we decided to serve this mulled wine recipe with mince pies after our annual carol service. We heated the wine and spices on a little two ring heater whilst the choir robed up - a bit of a squash - and left it to infuse on a very low heat during the service. At the 6th lesson I nipped back and added the sugar (not quite as much as specified: 500g for 6 bottles) and by the time the service was over, the wine was perfect, filling the church with alcoholic fumes... 6 bottles served 50 people, a case of feeding the 5000 perhaps. Highly recommended.
