For a more intense flavor, consider using star anise in addition to the cinnamon and cloves. If you prefer a less sweet wine, start with a smaller amount of brown sugar and add more to taste. Leftover spiced wine can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave before serving. Garnish each serving with a fresh orange slice or a cinnamon stick for an elegant touch.
