The tradition of this mulled wine comes from the Nürnberg Christkindl-Markt. The famous market is visited every year by millions of people.
Glühwein is produced from grapes grown in nearby vineyards and sweetened with honey provided by the Zeidler's, a guild dedicated to bee-keeping and bee-breeding in the forests around Nürnberg. Selected spices, which are used to produce Nürnberg's famous honey-spiced ginger breads, are added to make this Glühwein a delicious hot beverage, especially enjoyed during the colder times of the year.
