GLUEHWEIN
Gluehwein is a German/Austrian winter-holiday drink that most tourists know as an after-ski drink. After you come in out of the snow, it is supposed to make you glow with warmth again. Watch it: Since you drink this wine warm, the alcohol goes to your head extra quick! Drink when you really have come in, and do not have to go out again! This is the one my father used to make for New Year's Eve.

GLUEHWEIN (GERMAN HOT WINE PUNCH)
This hot spiced wine punch is a staple at the Christmas festivites in Germany. Everywhere you go during the month of December, you will most likely find someone selling mugs of hot, steaming Gluehwein. Here is a version I adapted from "Authentic German Home-Style Recipes" by Gini Youngkrantz. Posted by request. I am guessing on the cook time - it should be just until hot, but NOT boiling.

Tips
To make the perfect Glühwein, here are some tips and tricks:
- Choose a good quality red wine. A dry or semi-dry red wine is ideal. Avoid using sweet wines, as they will make the Glühwein too sweet.
- Use fresh spices. Whole spices, such as cinnamon sticks, cloves, and star anise, will give the Glühwein the best flavor. Avoid using pre-ground spices, as they will not be as flavorful.
- Simmer the Glühwein gently. Do not boil the Glühwein, as this will make the alcohol evaporate and the spices will become bitter. Simmer the Glühwein over low heat for 15-20 minutes, or until it is heated through.
- Serve the Glühwein hot. Glühwein is best served hot, so make sure to warm it up before serving. You can serve it in mugs or glasses.
- Garnish the Glühwein with a citrus slice or a cinnamon stick. This will add a festive touch to your drink.
Conclusion
Glühwein is a delicious and festive drink that is perfect for enjoying during the holiday season. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. So next time you are looking for a warm and comforting drink, give Glühwein a try.
