Mulled Wine

Um, that's always exciting.

And we will have the Glühwein, which is the traditional warm spiced mulled wine, uh, which is a favorite at the market, and we, uh, pre-sell it if you're interested in getting a bottle to take home.

We'll have that up on the website very soon.

We'll have European pastries.

For each of us, there is a little Christmas cake, chocolate, walnuts, almonds, oranges.

We sip our sweet mulled wine and celebrate Christmas.

For Preanitz, promotion to Unteroffizier has arrived, while I become Obergefreiter.

We cheer ourselves up, talk again about what is happening at home, and tell stories.

Uh, "An almost Christmas-like atmosphere reigns.

Our thoughts fly home." Um, at 1:30 AM, the, the, the, the food carriers arrive, so there is this, you know, there's this, there is a supply line as such, and people br- th- th- that bring up the Christmas treats, parcels each containing a small Christmas bun, some chocolate, almonds, and oranges.

For Heinz, a promotion to Unteroffizier has arrived, while I become Obergefreiter.

It just lightens the mood.

You know what? During this golden age, we need any opportunity we can to lighten the mood, right? Which Glühwein can help with, man? So that warm, delicious German red wine, like you're holding it in that mug, especially when you're out there at the German Christmas market in the cold and you're just...

slowly slipping on the sip sipping on that thing and just oh it fills you up with joy in your mouth and warmth in your body also has to go on my groceries i've got to make sure i've got some gluvine because it is just nice you can you can buy it you heat up at home in your saucepan pour a little in it just just it just warms the spirit dave just warms the spirit

so whether it's apple cider or gluvine i mean please yeah i do think like i'm not a big fan of other than you got to be outside drinking because you know a little chill and you have that warmness come into you

But we do have to get there, and I'm not sure if we're going to get there.

But good times ahead, Dave.

We'll focus on the warm cider and Glühwein as we continue to move forward through the chaos that is the Trump era, the world's greatest self-inflicted wound of all time.

Democratic society putting this ass white back into office.

That is to say that I hate them.

Let's start with Glühwein.

You think you like it, but you don't.

You'd drink it more than one and a half times a year otherwise.

M-O-L-D?

Mulled, M-U-L-L-E-D, mulled.

Malted, molded, yeah.

All right.

And, you know, I had to go through all the huts to try all the different flavored Glühweins that they had.

That was probably the first one that I saw that had white, rose, and red Glühwein, so.

Yeah, I was just talking with someone about that.

Me too.

That's when it makes sense.

And while you're there, see the golden roof and have a Glühwein or two.

Before we move on to the Q&A, I want to mention one more place and that's Hallstatt.

While I have been to Hallstatt, I sadly haven't made it to the Christmas market.

Not

so you, M-U-L-L-E-D is mulled wine.

It's very

hard to, I know.

I think the Romans probably cut their wine as well, but they would've...

I think the Greeks and the Romans probably drank wine a little bit like Glühwein.

Yeah.

But I don't think they heated it up.
