Glühwein

Glühwein is omnipresent at every German Christmas market with multiple stalls selling it.  What is glühwein?  It is a mulled wine, meaning it is warmed and flavored with spices.  In Germany, you can get Rot (red) or Weiss (white) glühwein.  Some of the markets we visited also had a rosé option.  It is served in a decorative mug unique to each market every year.  Depending on the city, you pay four or five euros for a 0.2 liter mug.  You also pay a deposit of the same amount. Return the mug and get your deposit back or keep it as a souvenir for the price of the deposit.  The designs and styles vary quite a bit and some are more colorful than others.
