A Taste of History
The practice of heating and spicing wine dates back to the 2nd century Romans, who would heat wine to help defend their bodies against the cold winter. As the Roman Empire expanded across Europe, so did their love for mulled wine. Today, variations of mulled wine, known as Glühwein in Germany and Glögg in Nordic countries, are a staple of Christmas markets and holiday celebrations worldwide.
