| The story of Dufvenkrooks started in 1997. Three partners with long experience from the wine and spirit industry were wondering why one of our finest Swedish traditions – drinking mulled wine – had to be so, well, traditional? Always spiced with Christmas spices, always drunk warm and always at Christmas? Surely, there must be room for another type of mulled wine, using the tradition as the starting point, but focusing on flavour, innovation and quality. Mulled wine based on fine wines, laced with fresh and natural essences. Mulled wine that actually tastes different from ordinary mulled wine. And which is presented in a slightly more exclusive way. And so the idea behind Dufvenkrooks was born.
The fact that the first Dufvenkrooks mulled wine, launched in 1998, was a cognac mulled wine was fairly natural. After all, the habit of lacing mulled wine with cognac does go back to the 17th century. Since then, several different Dufvenkrooks mulled wines have been introduced. They vary in flavour and spices, and all have their own unique character. The wine for the mulled wine is handpicked every year from well-known vineyards in Portugal, Spain and France. The essences and spice mixtures are extracted from natural raw materials.
The mulled wine makers’ solid knowledge about wine and their experience from the bar and restaurant sector have done a lot for the development of Dufvenkrooks. Using wines that are a bit better as the base, and spice mixtures that people like, classic favourites are created. Great importance is also placed on consumers and reviews, which are used to constantly develop and refine the range.
This year too, we have new specially made recipes for nibbles to go with mulled wine. Gather your friends and relations to a mulled wine party, to a more luxurious tradition with Dufvenkrooks.
