1. Pour the wine, water, honey, and bitters into a large saucepan.
2. Wrap the allspice, nutmeg, cloves, cinnamon sticks and orange zest in a square of cheesecloth and tie with string.
3. Add the spice bag to the pan and heat the wine, uncovered, over very low heat until hot, about 30 minutes.
4. Place the saucepan on a flametamer, so the wine never boils.
5. Remove the spice bag and serve the mulled wine hot. Serves 12 to 1.
