Hi there—thanks so much for your honest feedback. I’m really sorry to hear the recipe didn’t turn out as expected, especially for such a special occasion like Thanksgiving!

Mulled white wine can be a bit tricky to balance, and things like the type of wine and amount of citrus can really affect the final flavor. I’ll be revisiting this post soon to suggest some optional tweaks—like using a fruitier white wine or reducing the lemon—for anyone who prefers a softer, sweeter finish.

I really appreciate you taking the time to leave a review—even when it’s not a hit, it helps others (and me!) learn and improve.

Wishing you and your family a much tastier next batch of mulled wine!

I hate to leave a bad review, but unfortunately, this recipe is… Not good. For the record, I love mulled wine and I love white wine, as does the rest of my family, so I thought it’d be perfect for our (Canadian) Thanksgiving. I made the recipe to the specifications minus the cardamom pod. It smelled incredible, and it looked beautiful in the pot, but the taste? Astringent and harsh. None of us could drink it. It’s now being referred to in the family chat as “holiday hooch” because it’s giving prison liquor energy. Perhaps it could be improved by a different wine, or fewer citrus fruits, but honestly I think there’s just something not quite right with warm white wine. I’m sure this creator has lots of fantastic recipes, but I’d give this one a pass.

This is a keeper! Perfect fall flavors! You’re right about the rum adding something extra!
