Glögg
Glögg, gløgg or glögi[a] is a spiced, sometimes alcoholic, mulled wine, or spirit. Associated especially with Sweden , it is a traditional Nordic drink during winter, especially around Christmas. In the Nordic countries, hot wine has been a common drink since at least the 16th century. The original form of glögg, a spiced liquor, was consumed by messengers and postmen who travelled on horseback or skis in cold weather. Since the early 19th century, glögg has been a common winter drink, mixed and warmed with juice, syrup, and sometimes with a smaller quantity of harder spirits or punsch.
