Christmas Advent Day 5: You didn't think I could wait forever did you? Ahh yes... bring on the Glühwein baby.
If there is one thing that says European Christmas to me, it is Glühwein. Oh you spiced wine-y goodness you...I cannot help but shell out the CHF 4 at every market I go to just so that I can walk around to the rest of the little huts cupping my steamy, cinnamony, liquory goodness, staining my lips and gloves a crimson hue. Then again - maybe I am just a whino... hmmm...
You can barely walk 5 steps without running into a Glühwein hut at the Christmas markets. I particularly like those that have all kinds of other alcoholic delights like things laced with Baileys and fancy schnapps... then again, I am perfectly happy with me Glühwein so you can take your frothy, whipped cream concoctions and shove... sorry, this is Christmas, so drink whatever you like. Just drink responsibly or else I will send Schmutzli your way come next Christmas.
Button up and head out to the markets this weekend... only 20 more days until Christmas. ;)

I'm loving the Advent posts. At Sihl City they have a few little Christmas Market-type Huts out in the courtyard - and they have a Weiss Gluhwein that is mighty tasty. You should give it a try. Also, over at the Hotel zum Storchen on the Limatt, you can sit outside and wrap up in these big plushy blankets and enjoy their chef's version - which is first-rate. OK, I'm beginning to think I must be a wino, too.
ReplyDeleteMmm. I love Glüwein. Collected a nice group of mugs from Germany. Who cares if you already have 10 Glüwein mugs. You can always use one more! Looking forward to drinking some more tomorrow with you!
ReplyDeleteI completely forgot about collecting the mugs in Germany. I wish they did that here in Switzerland too... I have read about some cities that have a mug but I have not seen any myself yet.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to tomorrow too! Jace and I will be there!
