I made this for Xmas this year. I told my brother I'd try it first to see if he and his date wanted any. I tried it, and told them both they wanted a glass of it.

This was the perfect "cure" for the boxed Chianti I had in my fridge! Thanks for the recipe!

With this recipe I use a broken cinnamon stick, dried orange rind, and whole cloves. I mix put them in a cheese cloth bag and let it sit and simmer with wine, cranberry juice, and apple cider.

I made this for a party and it was a huge hit! I did add 1/4 c. cherry flavored brandy for each bottle of wine used, used cinnamon stick instead of ground cinnamon, and put everything in the crockpot to on low for about 45 min. until the sugar was completely dissolved, then switched to the keep warm setting and served it right from the crockpot. I quadrupled the recipe and ended up having to add more wine & brandy, as everyone LOVED this! It was perfect for a chilly fall night.

This was great! I substituted clemintines for the orange because that is what we had. We wanted to make this after having it at a chicago german christmas festival and it didn't disappoint.

Good as is, but I feel I made a few great additions. I added about 3/4 of a cup of water and used a cinnamon stick instead of the ground cinnamon. Also, the addition of 1/4 cup of brandy right before serving adds an additional kick! Very yummy!

This is similar to the hot spiced wine we get when we go skying at Mont Tremblant, except this recipe is much sweeter. At the hill it is served with cinnamon sticks and sugar on the side. Will make again but cut the sugar to 1/3 of a cup. As written it is way too sweet for our taste.
