Mulled wine

Gluhwein (literally: glowing wine) is an alcoholic drink that is mainly consumed in Central Europe in the period just before Christmas. 
To make mulled wine, red or white wine is heated with cinnamon, cloves, star anise and citrus peel and possibly sweetened with sugar or honey. 
The drink is then drunk warm. 
The drink should not be heated above about 70 °C during preparation, otherwise the alcohol evaporates. Mulled wine usually has an alcohol content of about 13%, although ready-made mulled wine of 8.5% is also sold.
