During the winter season, do as the Danes do: Imbibe a hot drink. Not just any drink, mind you, but a spirited and spiced drink that will warm you from the inside out. This radiant elixir is known by many names, including mulled wine and gluhwein; in Denmark, it’s called glogg.
In the ubiquitous dark and cold days of a Danish winter, glogg is considered a necessity, arguably on par with warm mittens and indoor heating. Glasses of glogg are served in cafés, doled out from city street carts, and passed at social gatherings. Tweaks abound, but the gist of this beverage is a base of steamy warm wine (often red) infused with winter spices, a little sugar, and perhaps a splash of a stronger spirit.
