Sipping a hot mug of Gluhwein is mostly associated with traditional German Christmas markets, but this beverage has roots stretching back to Roman times, making it a much older tradition.
To achieve the best flavor when making Gluhwein at home, it's essential to keep the temperature between 72C and 73C to prevent alcohol evaporation and sugar degradation.
The term Gluhwein is derived from the German verb gluhen, meaning 'to glow', reflecting the historical method of heating wine with hot irons and the warmth it brings.
The oldest documented consumption of Gluhwein in Germany dates back to the 15th century with Count John IV, who was known for his Riesling, showcasing its long history.
