gluhwein

Spiced hot wine

Glühwein is German mulled wine—red wine heated with spices like cinnamon, cloves, and citrus, sweetened and served warm.

It's the signature drink of German Christmas markets, where vendors ladle it from steaming pots into ceramic mugs: We warmed our hands on cups of glühwein.

The name literally means "glow wine."
