Answers:
I do not know the brand name of your wine, but the Christmas tradition of Gluhwein or "mulled" wine sounds like the wine you describe!.
You can make your own by using this
Ingredients
1 bottle of red wine
[suggest a cabernet sauvignon, but you can also go for a merlot or syrah]
? pint of water
4 oz of sugar [brown sugar is best]
1 orange
1 lemon
4 cloves
2 cardamom pods
2 bay leaves
2 cinnamon sticks
Preparation:
Thinly slice the orange and the lemon
Pour the water into a heavy bottomed pan and add the sugar and the spices
Heat until the mixture is boiling and then remove the pan from the cooker
Add the lemon slices
Allow the mixture to cool down for a short while [about ten minutes]
Add the wine, and heat gently
It is important that it is not allowed to boil as the alcohol will evaporate When your mulled wine is hot enough, take it off the heat and strain it into a warm bowl Serve into mugs or special mulled wine glasses [wine glasses are likely to crack] and add a slice of orange
Some people choose to not add the spices directly into the wine/water/sugar mix, but prefer to wrap the cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg and lemon and orange in a muslin cloth, and immerse it in the slow cooking brew like a tea bag!.
Sorry I couldn't help with the beautiful bottle, but Merry Christmas anyway!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
