About this image

The real reason why people visit a Weihnachtsmarkt is of course this magical potion called something like "glowing wine" in German, probably because it makes your head glow like a light bulb.

{German} Weihnachtsmarkt in Chorrol.

    Thank you, guys, this was fun. Should you have any further questions on "Gluehwein" I suggest you turn to Tobjoern's posting below, where is a full compendium on that topic included: his smiley crowd picture.

    Oh, how cute ;P Feeling ever so dizzy, I see.
    I always thought Gluekswein means something like "fortify luck potion"...

    If I recall correctly, we call it "Glow Wine" (loosely translated) because it's served glowingly hot!
    However, until now I wasn't aware of there being a dictionary translation "Mulled Wine" though.

    But you're right. They're usually not taking it too seriously with alcohol control in these. Your brain's tricked by them tasting like fruit juice, and before you know it you already have too much.

    It looks like it also likely to make your stomach violently reject having too much of it also. ;-o
    If I get to go there, I will be careful. ;-D
