Glühwein
Red wine heated with cinnamon, cloves, orange and sugar, served hot as a drink for cold-weather markets and gatherings.
Where it comes from
Associated with German Christmas markets, where mulled wine is sold by the cup to warm outdoor shoppers through winter evenings, though spiced warm wine itself predates that specific setting by centuries.
What cooks argue about
Some cooks tie the spices into a sachet so they can be lifted out cleanly; others let cinnamon and cloves float loose in the pot and strain the wine before serving for a stronger steep.
Versions
