MULLED WINE

WINNER Sainsbury’s Taste The Difference Mulled Wine 78/100 £5.50 for 75cl If you’re after something to warm you up this Christmas, look no further – this full-bodied, festive tipple hits all the right notes. It’s rich and smoky, with a pleasantly fruity acidity and is spiced to perfection. RUNNER-UP Ocado Mulled Wine 74/100 £4.99 for 75cl A classic offering made from good-quality ruby red wine. It is blended with soft spices to give a relatively dry finish with pronounced cranberry tartness and hint of pepperiness. However, some testers found it a little too dry and thin.
