The German shops (Aldi & Lidl) have it for sale under the name Glühwein. I think the only real difference is that they might use cardamom instead of nutmeg.

Apfelwein though yes pls

What the hell is wrong with you people? Glühwein from a proper Xmas market is an amazing tipple.

What, seriously? No one has mentioned Pernod? It's French for "I'd rather be sober".

I was at a few Christmas markets in Germany last year and I'm telling ye, the mulled wine was absolutely gorgeous! We just make a balls of it here

Crème de menthe - tastes like Night Nurse!

Mulled wine is lovely!
I don't know what the most rotten drink ever is but sambuca is surely a contender. *shudder*

I didnt know I was in such a minority of people who thought it was a lovely drink? Never even considered it a very acquired taste..

I'm another lover! Hate wine but I love mulled wine. I make a pot of it on Christmas Eve and keep it warm in the slow cooker during Christmas Day. I'm usually the only person who likes to drink it so its all for me!

If made right, mulled wine can be lovely. If made wrong, it can be rank.

whats EggNog like?

What most people miss when reading the story Georges marvelous medicine is when the conjecture was heated up Ask some of them sometime about the difference between GMM2 and GMM3

But tongue out of cheek - a well done mulled wine is one of lifes best pleasures. Suffice to say that you do not want your first one to be from someone elses hand - you need to make it yourself

I usually can't stand it but we got some at our work party and it was lovely. Tasted rotten when it was cold though!

That award goes to root beer. Tastes like the liquid used to clean hospital floors

In the states years back we thought we'd try that root beer that they had in the movies. We sipped it and almost as one said, "TCP," f**king awful stuff.

There has been a bottle of this atop my freezer years now. was given it and just do not fancy it but then I am not a drinker.

Sarsi gets my vote.

I've tried shop-bought mulled wine here once, and will not do that again.

Home-made it's beautiful, though. If you want an extra bit of theatre, check out Feuerzangenbowle!
Looks incredible, tastes amazing and is guaranteed to give you the worst hangover you've ever experienced.

I've had at the xmas markets in Berlin it was -10 degree outside at the market the gluhwein went down lovely. There was red and white gluhwein.

I made some myself after it went down a treat mind you I had a bottle of captain Morgan it

Montgolfier

At our work Christmas party we had a mulled wine reception. I very happily went to get myself a glass and a colleague who'd never had mulled wine before also took a glass. He took one sip, grimaced a bit, and handed me his glass. Two mulled wines before dinner; as good a start to a night as one could hope for!

Didn't know white Gluhwein was a thing! I don't like white wine in general so am not too sure how it would go down with me. Depends what it's mulled with, I guess?

I guess it would depend on if you like red wine in the first place. Years ago I hated it now I love it. As for mulled wine I wouldn't fancy more than one glass of it. It's quite rich and hardly something you could drink glass after glass.

Edit: and I'd prefer something you can drink glass after glass.

I like mulled wine but make it yourself, its quite easy to make

Oh, I've no recipe.
I just had it a good few years ago at a medieval Christmas market in Leipzig. You can get mulled anything on a German Christmas market these days - red wine, white wine, apple wine (or cider), mead, non-alcoholic ones, in Bamberg they were even selling a green one.

1 litre of good Irish craft cider. add between 60-80 ml dark Jamaican run depending on how much you like. 4 cloves, 1 cinnamon stick, 4 crushed cardamon pods, 2 star anise, 8 clementine segments, 8 apple segments cut the same, 40 g muscovado sugar, 2 bay leaf, one vanilla pod cut down centre and grate in 1\4 of a nutmeg. Heat don't boil and serve making sure some fruit and maybe the odd ingredient is in the glass for the look. A cinnamon stick is always nice to pop in the glass.

Don't scrimp on the ingredients as it will be totally different.
