Combine ingredients in a slow cooker or crock pot on high, monitor closely. Once the blend is steaming (not simmering, don't burn off the alcohol!), set to low and let stay hot. Heat for up to 1-2 hours and serve warm with an orange twist and/or cinnamon stick garnish.

Editor's Note

This traditional mulled wine relies on a Cabernet base and a classic spice blend. The slow-cooker method ensures a gentle infusion of orange and clove without compromising the wine's structure.
