    Just had my first ever go, not something I've ever fancied, definitely won't be revisiting it, the wife got some cheap stuff in a secret santa, lightly warmed it up dreadful not sure if it was because it was cheap stuff or is it all like that ?

    Went to Xmas market in Sheffield just after George was born. Tried the mulled wine. It's crap mate. So bad I bought some spicy German cheese and Elton John's greatest hits. Laura changed George in Bankers Draft, then tram home.

    Wouldn't know. I can honestly say that's the first time I've encountered that word. What is it?

    Just looked it up, it's a baby's first poo, made up of all the stuff they've ingested while in the womb. Did you eat/drink some then? Is that a thing nowadays, like mum eating placenta?

    No it just reminded me of that period of my life. Smells that bad you could taste it.

    What is mulled? Does anyone drink mulled wine when it isn't Christmas time? Never tried it myself, not bothered.

    Would you drink warm bitter or lager mate? The answers in the question :).

    Absolutely revolting stuff. I imagine mulled cider is just as bad.

    Mulled means warm mate.

    Not just warm, it means warmed, sweetened and spiced.

    If you just warmed some red wine, it would just be warm red wine.

    Bottled cheap mulled wine is awful. The devils brew.
    The real thing, done with care is beautiful.

    But .......... Eggnog. The Xmas drink of folk of a certain pedigree. Like me. Or @Bossman
