Mulled Wine and Kransky Sausage Sizzle

Overview

Hudsons Road Wine & Beer out in Melbourne's west is celebrating the return of winter by serving its mulled wine (longingly known by locals as the Spotswood Latte) at a one-off sausage sizzle.

On Saturday, June 1, from 10.30am until sold out, folks can head down to the bar and grab gourmet kranksy sausages right off the barbecue and cups of hot mulled wine. Sausages will be going for $11 each, mulled wine for $13 and a combo of both is just $20.

This classic pairing of sausages and mulled wine is served up at most European winter markets — especially those in Germany and Austria — and is perfect for warming you up on a cold arvo. Either sit in and enjoy the feed with some mates or get the sausages and wine to go.

The team's mulled wine became fairly famous during the Covid-19 lockdowns when locals would run down to Hudsons Road Wine & Beer during their lunch break or after work to score a cup of the hot spiced bev. Served in a takeaway coffee cup, it became known to locals as the Spotswood Latte.

And while the kranskies are only on the menu for this event, the mulled wine will be served all winter long.
