Sip the Season: Festive Holiday Drinks with NexTerra Mulled Wines
As the holidays approach, nothing sets the mood quite like the warm, spiced aromas of mulled wine wafting through the air. Mulled wine, also known as glühwein in Germany, is a beloved winter beverage, traditionally made with red wine and sometimes with white or rosé variations. The name "glühwein" translates to "smoldering wine," referencing the temperature at which the wine is gently heated. Whether you call it spiced wine, hot wine, or vin chaud, this festive drink is a seasonal favorite. This year, NexTerra’s Mulled Red Wine and Mulled White Wine take center stage in two festive holiday drink recipes that celebrate the season's magic.
