If the wine stains you lips red then tonight you might forget

[venta]

On account of, since Thursday night, a work Christmas party (cava, cocktails, wine, cocktails), a friend's party (champagne, champagne, champagne), a pre-Christmas dinner with friends (prosecco, red wine, port) and a pub quiz (beer), I feel like I ought to let my liver have a little rest.

On the other hand, the pre-Christmas dinner has left me with half a bottle of quite nice red wine that it would be a shame to waste. And the dinner has also left me with enough leftovers that I won't be cooking again for a while, and there is no space in the freezer to put the nice stew or something I could make with the wine.

I hate waste. Then again, I'd probably hate liver damage as well.

Is it so nice that mulling it would be a waste? Cos that's what I'd do.

I do like mulled wine, but (rather surprisingly to me) it appears my instinctive reaction is that it's nice, so I don't want to mull it.

The general rule is that mulling good wine is a bad idea. Mulling actually works best with a rough, low-grade wine; if you mull something really nice, you wind up with mulled wine that's inferior not only to the original un-mulled wine but also to mulled wine made from own-brand cheap plonk.
