Upholding our commitment to supporting local Taiwanese agriculture, we use Tainan Guantian oranges for the dried citrus. Guaranteed free of artificial sweeteners, sulfur, citric acid, and any chemical additives, it's made with pure natural ingredients. **About French Vanilla Mulled Wine...** https://shise.com.tw/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/%E6%B3%95%E8%98%AD%E8%A5%BF%E9%A6%99%E8%8D%89%E7%86%B1%E7%B4%85%E9%85%92-9-683x1024.jpg In the Beaujolais wine region of southern Burgundy, France, people would simmer fresh, fruity, and light-bodied Beaujolais wine with spices to poach pears, served with vanilla ice cream as a post-meal dessert. This is the origin of the 19th-century dessert, "Poire à la Beaujolaise." The simmered, wrinkled pears are also affectionately called "wife pears"~(Best if the chef doesn't let his wife hear this.) https://shise.com.tw/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/%E7%B4%85%E9%85%92%E7%87%89%E8%A5%BF%E6%B4%8B%E6%A2%A8-1024x683.png ShiSe's "French Vanilla Mulled Wine" was specially designed for BMW VIP clients who are sensitive to cinnamon, in response to BMW's invitation in the winter of 2023. It features whole vanilla pods grown in Nantou, Taiwan, with notes of dried plum, tropical fruit, and woody smoke, blended with imported Madagascar vanilla bean powder to complement the caramel butter candy aroma that Taiwanese vanilla pods currently lack. Lemon, often added to mulled wine and poached pear desserts, is used here in dried form and as lemon leaves to create a refreshing citrus aroma. Galangal, with its citrusy notes, is added to provide a subtle spicy warmth to the finish of the sweet and refreshing wine. The spice pack also includes cinnamon sticks, commonly used in traditional mulled wine and poached pear desserts, but they can be easily removed, so those who dislike cinnamon need not worry. https://shise.com.tw/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/%E6%B3%95%E8%98%AD%E8%A5%BF%E9%A6%99%E8%8D%89%E7%86%B1%E7%B4%85%E9%85%92-7-683x1024.jpg **How to Prepare Mulled Wine/Mulled White Wine** 1. Prepare one pack of ShiSe Mulled Wine Spices and a 750ml bottle of red or white wine. 2. Place all the spices, dried fruits, and white sugar from the spice pack into a pot. Pour in just enough red wine to cover the spices. 3. Gently heat the spices and the small amount of wine over low heat until it boils, simmer for 1-2 minutes, or until the aroma of the dried fruits and spices is released. 4. Pour in the remaining red wine and heat gently until warm and steaming, then turn off the heat. Do not boil. 5. Strain into a cup and enjoy. Don't forget to add the dried fruit to your cup and savor the slightly tipsy fruit slices. **How to Prepare Hot Apple Cider** 1. Prepare one pack of ShiSe "Continental Classic Christmas Mulled Wine Spices" and 750ml of apple cider. 2. Take out the white sugar packet from the spice pack and set it aside in your own sugar container. Place all the spices and dried fruits into a pot and pour in 750ml of apple cider. 3. After boiling, reduce to low heat and simmer for 3 minutes, or until the aroma of the orange and spices is released. 4. Strain into a cup and enjoy. **Recommended Wines for Preparing Mulled Wine...** https://i1.wp.com/shise.com.tw/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/%E5%9C%8B%E5%A2%83%E4%B9%8B%E5%8D%97%E7%86%B1%E7%B4%85%E9%85%92sq-4.jpg?w=1080&ssl=1 First, we suggest setting aside delicate and expensive wines. ShiSe's mulled wine spices are designed to highlight the spices with fruit notes as a complement, aiming to capture the essence of warming beverages from colder European regions. For wines with complex and subtle layers, it's best to enjoy them on their own, allowing their nuances to shine without being overpowered by the spices. Based on this, we recommend using wines with rich fruit aromas, full-bodied flavors, or a more robust character. You can pair them according to your preference: __Australian Shiraz__: **Tannins**: Medium-High **Acidity**: Medium-High **Body/Alcohol**: Medium-High **Dominant Fruit Flavors**: Rich blackberry notes **Other Supporting Flavors**: Black pepper, cloves, chocolate __Californian Zinfandel__: **Tannins**: Medium-High **Acidity**: Medium **Body/Alcohol**: Light to Medium **Dominant Fruit Flavors**: Jammy blueberry, black plum **Other Supporting Flavors**: Licorice, star anise, black pepper __Californian Merlot__: **Tannins**: Medium **Acidity**: Medium **Body/Alcohol**: Medium-High **Dominant Fruit Flavors**: Blackberry, raspberry **Other Supporting Flavors**: Cedar, tobacco If you'd like to know how these different wines transform when used for mulled wine, feel free to send us a private message.
