Slow-Cooker Mulled Wine Tips
What other wines would work well in slow-cooker mulled wine?
If you don't have cabernet sauvignon, consider dry and fruity red wines such as merlot, malbec, pinot noir, grenache, or zinfandel. Have any extra? Use it in these flavorful
recipes that incorporate wine.
What is a good substitute for the bourbon?
If bourbon isn’t your thing, brandy is another liquor commonly used in mulled wine. You can save the remaining brandy to mix up these
brandy cocktails for your next soirée.
Can you make slow-cooker mulled wine ahead of time?
