Nüernberger Glühwein

Gerstacker is a family company, founded in 1945, that is among the foremost wine bottlers in Bavaria. The tradition of this mulled wine comes from the Nürnberg Christkindl-Markt, Germany’s most famous Christmas market, which is visited every year by millions of people. The recipe for this wine, which includes a blend of cinnamon, nutmeg, and other all-natural spices, dates back hundreds of years and it is still being produced according to old-world tradition to this day. According to the European Union, this is the “original Glühwein,” and the most popular in Germany.

To prepare, simply pour glühwein into a sauce pan and warm on the stove over low heat (do not boil). Feel free to add a cinnamon stick, honey or orange slice to enhance the flavor. If you are in a hurry, safely heat in the microwave.
