Glühwein is a hot spiced "glow wine" that's found in many winter markets in Germany and Austria. This is the recipe my father would make for New Year's Eve. Many tourists know it as an after-ski drink. After you come in from being out in the cold and snow, this warm, spicy mulled drink is supposed to make you "glow" with warmth again.
