We all love the festive period, the presents and all the time with family and friends. We over indulge on everything, but thats the point of Christmas right?
Mulled wine plays such a huge part of the traditional Christmas drink selection and there are lots of options to chose from. All major supermarkets have their own options and there are multiple German Gluhwein brands throughout alcohol retail up and down the UK.
Problem is, nobody knows what is in these products nutritionally and the truth is quite surprising. Red wine warmed with spices is absolutely not what you get. However, if you shop red wine with DrinkWell, you can reduce the sugar and calorie content:
