The question of advantage or harm of alcohol is discussed still. So far the point of view predominates that all is useful moderately. Nevertheless, people use the warmed-up wine as good anti-catarrhal means long ago.
Certainly, wine, is known to mankind from time immemorial. Especially well it proves to be in the warmed-up look. Thanks to a hot beverage, vessels extend, the organism gets rid of toxins better, physiological systems get good support at recovery. It is good to apply hot wine for the night before going to bed as alcohol well calms and lulls. There are at least two ways how to make good drink on the basis of wine.
Hot wine and mulled wine
There are two options of preparation of hot wine which shouldn't be confused. First is the just warmed up drink with a minimum of spices which to make absolutely simply. It shouldn't be confused with mulled wine as the compounding differs a little. "Just" hot wine will require wine, it is better red, cinnamon, sugar, it is possible also other spices to taste. In this case it is necessary just to warm up wine, to add to it necessary components and to give to the patient. In that case drink doesn't infuse, doesn't become impregnated too strongly with spices and represents just heated wine with additives. It is possible even just to heat separately wine and to drink so that too is very useful in moderate quantities.
Mulled wine
A little in a different way the real mulled wine is cooked. For a start all components are necessary. Such as cinnamon, orange segments, tangerine, cardamom, bell pepper. In shops there are ready sets of spices for mulled wine which can also be got. At first wine is warmed up almost to a boiling point. Then preparations of spices are added to it. And after that the saucepan with soup is left "pine" approximately for half an hour. There is a treatment of wine spices, return to drink of all flavoring properties of additives. And after it mulled wine is carried almost to a boiling point again and is served to the patient. If desired it is possible to add strong tea and vodka or rum to drink therefore the well-known grog will turn out. However you shouldn't abuse a grog as this rather strong drink, especially for the organism weakened by a disease. Besides, everyone has to resolve an issue of "cocktails" for itself(himself). Someone it is easy to transfer such drinks, and can seem to someone too strong. Anyway the good old warmed-up wine with spices never before brought. Also you remember – the main thing moderation in everything, and then poison will turn into medicine.
