Gluehwein

Gluehwein

Gluehwein is a traditional German mulled wine, typically enjoyed during the winter months and festive holiday markets. This warming beverage is made by simmering red wine with a blend of spices such as cinnamon, cloves, and star anise, along with citrus fruits like oranges and lemons, creating a fragrant and cozy drink perfect for chilly evenings. Served hot, Gluehwein is not only a delightful treat but also a cherished part of winter celebrations.
