Mulled Wine是加了香料並溫熱了的酒。據說，在遠古時代，因酒的保存不易，容易走味，所以人們便把酒加了香料和蜂蜜（或是糖）加熱，使酒容易入喉；另一說，則是那時候的人們多以此方式為劣質酒增添風味。演變至今，mulled wine似乎已經成為歐美人冬天（尤其在聖誕節前後）的傳統酒精飲料，喝了可以取暖。
Mulled Wine在德國叫Glühwein（glowing wine）；在法國，被稱作vin chaud （hot wine）；在義大利則為vin brulé (French for "burnt wine")；北歐國家，以Glögg稱之。
因地域不同、習慣不同，被用來加入酒中的香料也隨之而異，但大抵上來說，不出「肉桂」、「丁香」和「肉豆蔻」這三樣，其他的，則有八角、杜松子、月桂葉、薑等等。在北歐國家，還會加入杏仁、葡萄乾。美國版的mulled wine，變化就更多了，有些人會在香料之外，另外加入新鮮的水果或果汁，比如：柳橙（或柳橙汁）、檸檬汁，也有些人加入蔓越莓乾或蔓越莓汁。
此外，不愛喝酒或是不能喝酒的人，也可以用蘋果汁代替紅酒，喝起來酸酸甜甜的，嘴暖心也暖。
