Product details
Grzaniec Galicyjski Apple Pie is a ready-to-heat Polish mulled wine with the flavour of apple pie, bottled at 12% ABV in a 1L bottle. Grzaniec is the Polish word for mulled wine, and this Szarlotka edition sets the taste of apple cake against the brand's familiar blend of warm spices. It needs nothing more than heating, and it fills the kitchen with the smell of baked apples and cinnamon. Anyone who likes apple pie mulled wine will find it a natural choice for bonfire parties, Christmas gatherings at home or a cold evening by the fire.
Grzaniec Apple Pie tasting notes
- Aroma: Baked apple, cinnamon and clove, with a buttery pastry note.
- Taste: Sweet and spiced, with stewed apple over a soft wine character.
- Finish: Gentle cinnamon and lingering apple.
How to drink Grzaniec Galicyjski Apple Pie
Pour it into heatproof glass mugs once it is warm and serve it with a slice of apple cake, gingerbread or a winter cheese board. Roast pork with apple sauce is another good match. It is at its best on a frosty afternoon, after a winter walk or as a welcome drink when guests arrive in December.
How to warm Grzaniec Galicyjski Apple Pie
Heat it gently in a saucepan, or in a heatproof jug in the microwave, to about 70°C and never let it boil, because boiling drives off both alcohol and aroma.
- Apple Pie Punch for four: warm 500 ml Grzaniec Galicyjski Apple Pie with 250 ml cloudy apple juice, an orange slice and a cinnamon stick.
- Apple Pie Cream Mug: top 150 ml hot Apple Pie with 20 ml lightly whipped cream and a pinch of cinnamon.
How it compares
The original Grzaniec Galicyjski Mulled Wine is the traditional spiced recipe at 13.5% ABV, drier and more clove-led. Apple Pie is sweeter and fruitier and sits closer to the dessert-style Hot Caramel edition, while Grzaniec Galicyjski Honey swaps baked fruit for floral honey.
Good to know
Grzaniec Galicyjski is made by Ambra, one of Poland's major wine companies, and a 1L bottle gives six or seven 150 ml mugs. Polish shoppers know it as Szarlotka mulled wine, and Wodka Company sends Grzaniec Galicyjski Apple Pie 1L across the UK from London.
Po polsku
Grzaniec Galicyjski Szarlotka (Apple Pie) to grzane wino o mocy 12% w butelce 1 l, w którym smak szarlotki dołącza do korzennych przypraw marki. Pachnie pieczonym jabłkiem, cynamonem, goździkiem i maślanym ciastem, a w smaku jest słodki, z duszonymi jabłkami na tle łagodnego wina. Wystarczy go podgrzać w garnku lub mikrofalówce do około 70°C, nie doprowadzając do wrzenia, i nalać do żaroodpornych kubków. Pasuje do kawałka jabłecznika, piernika albo zimowej deski serów.
Frequently asked questions
What does 'Szarlotka' mean on Grzaniec Galicyjski Apple Pie?
Szarlotka is the Polish name for apple cake, a much-loved home bake of spiced apples in shortcrust or sponge. Grzaniec Galicyjski Apple Pie borrows that name and recreates the taste of baked apple and cinnamon in a hot spiced wine.
Can you drink Grzaniec Galicyjski Apple Pie cold?
Yes, but Grzaniec Galicyjski Apple Pie is designed to be heated. Warmed to about 70°C, the apple and cinnamon aromas open up; served cold it tastes flatter and sweeter, so it is best kept for the mug.
How do you serve Grzaniec Galicyjski Apple Pie for a party?
A 1L bottle of Grzaniec Galicyjski Apple Pie fills about six mugs of 150 ml. Warm it in a large pan or a slow cooker on its lowest setting with apple slices and a couple of cinnamon sticks, keeping it below a simmer, and ladle into heatproof cups.
