Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).
Place the ham, cut side down, on a large roasting pan with raised edges. Cover the ham loosely with aluminum foil and bake for 1 hour.
While the ham is baking, prepare the glaze: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine Coca-Cola, red wine, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, honey, minced garlic, thyme leaves, ground black pepper, and salt.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring frequently until the sugar dissolves completely. Let it reduce for about 15–20 minutes or until it thickens slightly. Stir in the butter until melted. Remove the glaze from heat and set aside.
After the ham has baked for 1 hour, remove it from the oven and take off the foil. Use a sharp knife to score the surface of the ham in a diamond pattern, being careful not to cut too deep.
Brush a generous amount of the glaze all over the ham, ensuring it seeps into the scored cuts. Place it back in the oven, uncovered.
Continue to bake the ham for an additional 1.5 to 2 hours, basting with the glaze every 20–30 minutes. Rotate the pan halfway through to ensure even browning.
Check the internal temperature of the ham with a meat thermometer. It should read 140°F (60°C) when fully heated through.
Once done, remove the ham from the oven and let it rest for 15–20 minutes before carving.
Serve warm with any extra glaze drizzled over the slices. Enjoy your Coke Au Vin Baked Ham!
