Gluhwëin

Perfect for a cold Winter's night.

Gluhwëin is also known as mulled or spiced wine. We first tasted gluhwëin in Vienna, Austria where the temperature was near freezing and every Christmas market seemed to have a stall selling it. Maybe not suitable for a Southern hemisphere Christmas but perfect for those Northern Christmases.
