Four steps in the city center. The windows, the stalls and the bookshop where the afternoons seem to fly. And just as we go out, we can only stop and give in to call for a good glass of mulled wine.

Warm, fragrant, sweet and intense. To be held in the hands, lingering a bit, the time to breathe the perfume of wine and spices, to imagine the wave sweet and rich that will overwhelm our palate at the first sip.
And once you get home and put the packages, the question arises: why do not we ever do it at home?
We do not know. But we are ready to provide you with three good reasons to change your habit.

Not to waste wine

We opened a good bottle of Nero d'Avola, but after a couple of glasses we stuck it and put it in the fridge. Do not you think it would be a shame to throw it or use it for cooking?
Making mulled wine is the perfect idea for do not waste full-bodied red wines in winter, authorizing us to open those good bottles more lightly that we are always afraid of not finishing.

For the perfume

There are many valid methods for perfuming the house. Diffusers of perfume, incense, sprays, potpourri and much more. But if you want a house that smells of spices, sweet wine and domestic warmth… vin brulé is the first thing you need to prepare. It will transform the smells of the house into an enveloping scent that we recommend to let even in the bedroom to make sweet dreams.

To enjoy the house

Last but not least reason is the desire to stay at home that grows when temperatures drop and the wind blows hard. And if sometimes we feel a bit 'prisoners, it is because perhaps we have not given enough attention to turn it into perfect nest for our sweet hibernation. Preparing a fun drink like mulled wine, then, also means having one more chance to invite friends, have a chat and relax with friends.
