Christmas Market Tour


 

Let’s drink Mulled Wine!

Try a mulled wine called Glühwein when you’re chilled out at a German Christmas market. Glühwein is a warm cocktail of wine with spices and is a traditional German winter drink.

Glühwein cups are served in glass or china. Please do not throw away this cup. The deposit will be refunded upon return.

The design of the cup is different at the christmas market. Therefore, some people collect it. When you find a favorite bring it home as a souvenir, and enjoy the atmosphere of the Christmas market at home.
