How often and how much mulled wine to consume: an expert answers

With the onset of frost, the famous warming drink mulled wine is increasingly appearing on the shelves of street stalls. Its spicy, sweetish taste and pleasant wine aroma impress many people. It also contains many bark ingredients that contain vitamins.

Nutritionist Yulia Sadnytska told us how often and in what quantity we can drink mulled wine on her Instagram page.

Along with mulled wine, people often buy a variety of donuts, chocolates, and other high-calorie foods. This combination does not have a very positive impact on health. In cold weather, it's better to drink mulled wine a little bit – hot wine quickly enters the bloodstream and can lead to rapid intoxication.

This drink has many healthy ingredients, but it is still alcohol. In case of an overdose, you can achieve alcohol intoxication and intoxication, just like from other drinks. This is also dangerous for health because mulled wine is consumed hot, which means that alcohol is absorbed twice as fast. Therefore, you should drink no more than one glass a day, and if you really need to warm up, it is better to choose tea or coffee.
