The Expired Mulled Wine Experiment

A viral post on a UK food and drink Facebook group featured a user who discovered a leftover bottle of festive mulled wine from last year in the back of their cupboard and decided to drink it cold over ice. The post received hundreds of amused and disgusted comments, with one user writing: "Ice-cold mulled wine in May is a chaotic level of British summer survival." Another replied: "You’ve essentially created a festive Sangria. Throw a slice of orange in there and call it seasonal transition."
