Different names, different countries, for centuries mulled wine has been drunk to celebrate holidays and warm our bodies. Mulling wine could have been a practical solution to preserve wine or make bad wine taste good. Today mulled wine is often discovered by tourists at the holiday street markets throughout Europe. Mulling apple cider and fruit juices has given the tradition new life and made it accessible to the entire family. Gluhwein, likely the most widely known name for mulled wine, is drunk from glass shaped boots while shoppers linger around stalls of handmade gifts in the Christkindlmarkts. In the Netherlands the Dutch families await the arrival of Sinterklaas on the eve of December fifth enjoying steaming mugs of Bisschopswijn and hot cocoa and nibbling on traditional foods to celebrate the start of the Christmas season. |
