mulled wine
wine heated with sugar and spices
Link to present incidents:
Germany's Christmas markets sparkle with seasonal cheer. Small girls in matching pink scarves and hats sing with gusto from the stage, as well-muffled adults drink mulled wine and choose between thick lentil soup, sausages in a bun or pizza before doing a spot of shopping for wooden toys or jewellery. You would hardly know there was a recession on.
