White Mulled Wine

Just as popular in Alsace as the traditional red mulled wine, white mulled wine is also known in Scandinavia, particularly in Sweden, where it is called "Glögg". Just as warm and enchanting, it is a classy accompaniment to winter aperitifs.

Which wine for white mulled wine?

When preparing your white mulled wine, opt for fruity white wines that are full of flavour, or Alsace white wines. Avoid wines that are too acidic, sparkling or sweet, which will not go well with the spices added to the preparation. Among Alsace wines, those made from Gewurztraminer and Muscat varieties are too aromatic. Sylvaner, Riesling and Pinot Blanc are the best options. Choose a wine that is simple, light and young for guaranteed success. There's no need to choose a grand cru, which will be more at home on the big holiday tables. You'll find something to satisfy your craving for white mulled wine in our selection of white wines under £10.

White mulled wine and food pairings

As with traditional mulled wine made with red wine, enjoy white mulled wine with a slice of gingerbread, shortbread or Alsatian cakes to keep with the theme. These are typically the little confectionery and baked biscuits that follow us after the festive season. Desserts based on cooked fruit such as apples or pears are also excellent accompaniments. An apple tart or speculoos cakes can easily be paired with white mulled wine.
