Blogwatch: Mulled Wine
The winter holidays are about a lot of things. Not unimportant among these many meaningful sentiments are two predominant aspects of the holiday season: staying warm and getting drunk. Ursula of Jane Spice, Mulled Wine combines the garnet Christmas red of Burgundy wine with the tart spike of Thanksgiving's cranberry juice, dressed up with the spices of the season. It looks, and must smell, like December in a glass. Plus, it delivers the warm and drunk part with a single punch. Just be sure not to serve Santa—he may be old enough, but a reindeer DUI would seriously interfere with presents.

When I was in Amsterdam and Belgium last year around Christmas, they had mulled wine everywhere!
They called it gluhwein and it would at the outdoor markets, bars, every where you went. I had never had mulled wine before then and theirs wasn't half bad!

A mulled wine called Glogg is traditional in Swedish households during the holidays. It is made with claret wine, aquavit and spices and has a few blanched almonds floating in the pot. It is awesome and I just cant wait for Christmas to imbibe!!
Glad Jul to all and to all...maybe a hangover!
