Definition & Bedeutung von "glogg"

What is "glögg"?

Glögg is a traditional Nordic alcoholic drink that is typically consumed during the winter months, especially around Christmas time. It is a warm and spiced mulled wine that is made with red wine, brandy, and a mixture of spices such as cinnamon, cardamom, and cloves. Glögg is often sweetened with sugar or honey and may also contain raisins, almonds, and other fruits and nuts. The mixture is heated slowly until the flavors are infused, and the alcohol is then burned off, leaving a sweet and spicy drink that is typically served hot. Glogg is often enjoyed as a cozy and festive drink, and is a popular part of Nordic holiday traditions. It is also sometimes used as a warming drink during cold winter months, and can be found in ski resorts and other cold-weather destinations around the world.
