Mulled wine
From Free net encyclopedia
Mulled wine, also known by the German name Glühwein, the French name vin chaud, and the Italian name vin brulè, is wine, usually red wine, combined with spices and usually served hot. In the old times wine often went bad, but by adding spices and honey it could be made drinkable again. Nowadays it is a traditional drink during winter, and especially around Christmas, to warm you up. In Italy, this beverage is typically drunk in the northern, more Germanic part of the country.
Glogg (Swedish: Glögg, Norwegian: Gløgg, Danish: Gløgg, Finnish: Glögi) is the Scandinavian form of mulled wine, similar to Glühwein in German-speaking countries. Glühwein is usually prepared from (not too expensive, sometimes outright cheap) red wine, which is heated and spiced with cinnamon sticks, cloves and sugar.
If you add orange juice to it, you get a form of Punsch.
