Glühwein

German for “glowing wine”, glühwein is a delicious hot mulled wine served in German speaking countries around the holidays. This delicious hot beverage is often served in German, Swiss and Austrian Christmas markets, offsetting the cold weather. Glühwein is typically prepared from red wine, heated and spiced with cinnamon sticks, cloves, star anise, citrus zest and sugar. Kinderspunsch is a nonalcoholic variety which can be prepared for children by adding the same spices to hot cider.

A set of our lovely glühwein mugs are a perfect Christmas gift! Celebrate the season with these handmade stoneware mugs. They are perfect for sipping hot cider, hot chocolate, Irish coffee, hot mulled wine, and best if shared with family and friends. The pottery is dishwasher, microwave and oven safe. Each mug is unique and holds approximately 8 ounces.  As you sip your hot beverage, an added benefit is that you can enjoy the feeling of warmth “glowing” through the clay.

Purchase them directly from us in Bethlehem at the Christmas City Village “Weihnachtsmarkt” or online on our Etsy Store! We also create other beautiful custom mugs and stoneware in other motifs and color schemes! We are also always happy to do custom orders, matching size, color, and design to your specifications.
