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: Select a red wine that is full-bodied and has a high tannin content. Some good options include Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Syrah.
- Use fresh spices: Whole spices will provide the best flavor. Use a microplane grater to grind them finely.
- Simmer, don't boil: Bring the wine to a simmer over low heat and then reduce the heat to maintain a gentle simmer. Boiling the wine will cause the alcohol to evaporate and the spices to become too harsh.
- Let the wine steep: Remove the wine from the heat and let it steep for at least 30 minutes. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
- Strain the wine: Strain the wine through a fine-mesh sieve to remove the solids.
- Serve warm: Spiced wine is best served warm. You can reheat it over low heat or in a slow cooker.
- Garnish with citrus: A slice of orange or lemon adds a bright, festive touch to spiced wine.
Conclusion:
Warm spiced wine is a delicious and comforting beverage that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is also a great way to use up leftover wine. With just a few simple ingredients, you can make a delicious batch of spiced wine that will warm your body and soul. So next time you're looking for a cozy drink to enjoy, give warm spiced wine a try. You won't be disappointed!
