Hot wine

Hi folks,

When I was in Frankfort Germany in 1952, there was a place that would serve a fairly warm, almost hot wine. It seems like it may have been a dry white wine that was sweetened when it was heated, though I'm not sure.

Does anyone have any knowledge of serving wine this way? Type of wine, etc.

Thanks, Frank D.

Gluhwein is served all over Germany, particularly around Christmas time, although it's usually red. If you Google for "mulled wine" and "recipe", you get thousands of hits, most wiht a recipe.

I overindulged in the stuff when I was in Germany, so my stomach now rebels at even the memory; I will therefore not advise you on what to put in it.

Here's my recipe...given to me by a former co-worker whose husband was a soldier in Germany. It's great!!!

One bottle dry red wine...any kind. One half to one cup sugar (I usually use one cup and this makes the wine pretty sweet but the heat and spices can handle it). Some cinnamon sticks broken up and a few cloves. An orange cut into sections and partially squeezed into the wine. Heat this mixture to almost a boil, remove from heat, cover and let stand about 15 minutes. It will really warm you up on a cool autumn night and in the dead of winter.
