   If you live in NY or in a place where you can have wines shipped to you, Brotherhood Winery sells a wine called “Holiday”, which is basically a red with all of the spices already in it! I just pour it in a pan and heat it on the stove = instant mulled spiced wine! And, it’s less than $10 a bottle 🙂

   yum yum! Sounds delish! Thanks Bryn! Might make the holidays a little more tasty and um, stress free 😉

   Meggan, I might want to look into brotherhood! I don’t know if I can get wine shipped in NC, but I will sure check 🙂

   I’m not sure where all it ships to but Leelanua Cellers out of Michigan makes a great spiced red wine for the fall called Witches Brew. I’m not even a fan of red wine but it’s positively yummy! I would definitely recommend it if you don’t feel like making this recipe (or don’t have the time). I on the other hand will be making this tomorrow and I can’t wait! Thanks for the recipe!

   Just thought I would share, since my friend just told me about your site. This will probably be my favorite posts! My son’s name is Collin too, he made his grandmother and me each our own apple pie for Thanksgiving. So I LIKE Cooking with Collin!! This is a great recipe, I am going to try because I don’t like Burgundy very well…but this might make it taste a little better to me.

   Come Dec 5th I will be hosting our annual office Cookies and Wassail Day-complete with a non-alcholic spiced cider prepared in a large crockpot.
   It slowly simmers thru-out the day, sending marvelous fragrance in every nook and cranny (and cubicle) on our floor.
   Folks wander in and out the lobby, sampling all the wonderful goodies…
   It’s the BEST timeof the year! 🙂

   We have this in Germany and it is called Gluehwein and is sold at all the Christmas markets! If you have a German deli around, go there and get a bottle. It normally doesn’t cost more than $5 🙂

  I agree with Jennifer. The Gluehwein in Germany sounds very similar to this recipe. I would also think Trader Joe’s or Cost Plus World Market would have it in their stock.

   Collin, we love the hot wine… this is what we call it). My recipe is a little bit different. I use a few apple slices, a few orange slices and bring the wine to a boil. Then I add the sugar… I don’t have exact quantities, but I’m pretty sure it’s way less than 3 cups. We like it sweet, but not too sweet. I add the cinnamon and cloves and 5-7 minutes later it’s ready. It has a great flavor from the fruit. And if it’s summer, you can cool it or drink it with ice. It’s kinda like Sangria.

   This is really popular drink during festival in Germany and Switzerland. :P. Though, there it is called Gluhwein.

    Does anyone know a good place to buy cinnamon sticks (and cloves)? They seem pretty expensive at my local Safeway.
