GLUEHWEIN
Gluehwein is a German/Austrian winter-holiday drink that most tourists know as an after-ski drink. After you come in out of the snow, it is supposed to make you glow with warmth again. Watch it: Since you drink this wine warm, the alcohol goes to your head extra quick! Drink when you really have come in, and do not have to go out again! This is the one my father used to make for New Year's Eve.

Tips:
- Choose the right wine. For a traditional alpine hot spiced wine, use a full-bodied red wine with a high alcohol content, such as Cabernet Sauvignon or Shiraz. You can also use a white wine, but it will have a lighter flavor.

- Simmer the wine slowly. Don't rush the process of simmering the wine. Allow it to simmer for at least 30 minutes, or up to an hour, to allow the flavors of the spices to infuse into the wine.
- Serve hot. Alpine hot spiced wine is best served hot, so make sure to heat it up before serving. You can heat it up in a鍋爐or on the stovetop.
- Garnish with citrus. A slice of orange or lemon is a traditional garnish for alpine hot spiced wine. The citrus adds a bit of freshness and brightness to the drink.
