Mulled wine. Vin Chaud. Here's what you'll need:

1 bottle of red wine (an inexpensive one will do the trick)

The thing is, you can really use any spice you like.
Anise, slices of ginger, black peppercorns,
allspice, etc.

Preparation:
Combine your wine, zest and spices in a saucepan.
Simmer for atleast 15 minutes (over medium heat).
Strain and serve.
Add sugar and any ground spices you fancy.
