Special Precautions and Tips:

• If you can't find dry red wine, you can use a semi-sweet wine. Be sure to adjust the amount of sugar you add accordingly.
• If you don't have time to simmer the wine for 10 minutes, you can bring it to a boil and then remove it from the heat. However, the spices won't have as much time to release their flavors.
• Serve the wine hot, but be careful not to overcook it. If the wine boils for too long, it can lose its flavor.
