Glue wine

Hi Mom,

Gluehwine is a cheap, warm and very welcome German holiday treat. It's red wine spiced with cinnamon, cloves, sugar, and possibly a bit of orange.

I last drank it in Berlin, at an outdoor Christmas market packed with locals. And some tourists (like me).

I had all but forgotten it existed before I stumbled upon it at the Union Square Holiday Market.

The market has really exploded these past few years. Bigger, better, and full of red wine? Let me find those mittens...

Love,
Karen
