To create Christmas wine soup put 3 cups/700 ml of white wine and 3/4 cup/200 ml of water in a pan with the sugar, cinnamon, and cloves and bring to a boil. Meanwhile, beat the egg yolks with the remaining wine until creamy. Add the hot wine mixture to the egg yolks, stirring continuously and reheat.
