Rfv-sense: mulled red wine. Apparently there's a quote out there for Hotten, who may be a guy who wrote a slang dictionary. Oxlade2000 (talk) 21:54, 14 February 2021 (UTC)


 * Hotten's Slang Dictionary (1873) says: "Cardinal, a lady's red cloak. A cloak with this name was in fashion in the year 1760. It received its title from its similarity in shape to one of the vestments of a cardinal. Also mulled red wine." He didn't usually do citations, unfortunately, so it's only a reference.

cited. In addition to the uses I added to the entry, I found a number of recipes for the stuff, such as this and this, and a large number of mentions. Kiwima (talk) 22:37, 15 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Impressive! (And searching in or for recipes or cookbooks when searching for food/drink terms that have other homographic meanings is a good idea.) - -sche (discuss) 18:39, 16 February 2021 (UTC)
