Simon, I stand in awe. You've devised the best way to get pissed up, for next to bugger all. The glass is sent back, empty of whatever hooch you had in it, in the first place. In a strident tone of voice, one informs the barkeep/waiter about the defiling of the wine and demands a refill. The subsequent refills will be deemed 'not up to snuff', because of the imbalance of the herbs and spices, and oisy-doisy-doh you get as pissed as a bastard for the price of a single glass of mulled wine. 'Mullered For Nothing' as Dire Straits might have sung at their staff Xmas party. It's just the sort of initiative we need in these "credit crunch" days.
