Warm Up with Your Partner this Christmas with Kaldy's Classic Drink: Mulled Wine! ❤️

A Classic Christmas Cocktail at Home ♡

"Glühwein" is sold at Christmas markets almost everywhere.

It is a warm cocktail made by mixing wine and spices, and is known by various names such as "hot wine" (in Japanese), "mulled wine" (in English), and "vin chaud" (in French). It's a Christmas menu loved all over the world, especially in Europe! ♡

There are versions made with existing red (or white) wine where spices and syrup are added to create an original blend, as well as those that are sold bottled with spices already included as "Glühwein".

It's a drink that warms the body and makes you feel, "I'm so glad to be an adult~♡". It's a special drink for the holiday season! *

Available at Kaldi ♡

Glühwein is sold at various stores, but the easiest to access in Japan is probably the one from Kaldi. *

Kaldi's Glühwein is called "Rapunzel." Sometimes it is sold as a set with an original mug during certain times of the year.

You can pour it into a mug or heat-resistant container and microwave it, or directly heat the wine in a pot without bringing it to a boil (around 50 degrees Celsius) ♡

How to Make Your Own Glühwein?

It is also possible to make Glühwein at home using regular red wine.

There's no "must-have" recipe, and it seems that the taste varies from household to household in Europe. *

For example, "The Glühwein recipe passed down in my family uses a lot of citrus spices and has a refreshing taste" or "I prefer to make it with a rich Sauvignon wine!" — it seems people enjoy finding their favorite combinations! ♡

Here are the classic spices to add to the wine.

✅ Cinnamon

✅ Cloves

✅ Granulated sugar

✅ Orange peel

✅ Lemon peel

For a finishing touch, adding a cinnamon stick is popular! ♡
