Karine Cooks: Glühwein

Back

Around the Christmas season, public houses in nearly every European town offer mulled wine as a delicious antidote to the season's chill. To warm up on a stormy evening or put yourself in a celebratory mood, try making your own Glühwein at home.

What happens when you take hundreds of colorful bottles of ouzo and other spirits, add oak casks brimming with brandy, then mix in a colorful owner? You get the magical setting that is Brettos, a “locals bar” like no other. Join Karine as she explores this Athens treasure.
