WUNDERBAR! We loved this recipe. I did cut the sugar down to 1/2 cup, added an extra cinnamon stick, the juice of 1 lemon, and then strained the whole thing before serving. Made it with a simple Burgandy wine...I bet a Pinot Noir or Beaujolias would be good too. It was even better the second day after the flavors had blended more.

Warms you to the bone! Very tasty. Doubled the recipe, but followed it exactly and it was a bit hit last Thanksgiving.

Great old time German recipe. Try other juices also for a change. (O.J., cherry juice, etc.)

I lived in Germany for a long time and this recipe tastes perfectly authentic. Great for a cold winter night!

This was so good! I took the advice of others and used orange juice instead of the water. It was a great drink for Christmas Eve.

It's great, but I tried following one of the other reviews, and changed the water for OJ, and it made it much too sweet. It's perfect just the way it is.

I had the pleasure of going to Germany several years ago, and this brought back some wonderful memories of that trip. This recipe is absolutely fantastic! My Husband is a diabetic, so I replaced the sugar with "Splenda Granular" and the recipe turned out great! Thanks for sharing your recipe Else!

I served this at a dinner party during the holidays and it was very well received. This is not a sophisticated drink - it's a good, flavorful somewhat sweet spiced wine that can be successfully made with an inexpensive bottle of red wine. I cut down on the sugar and used orange juice in place of the water. It was kind of like a winter-time Sangria. Yum.

This Gluehwein recipe was great, and so easy to make. My aunt from Germany makes this every year for the holidays, and this was my first time trying it for myself. It still wasn't quite as good as Aunt Helga's, but still very tasty and I would definitely make this again.

I have never heard of gluehwein but was looking for a festive spiced wine something for Christmas. My mother-in-law loved it, sister-in-law hated it and I thought it was pretty good though not what I was looking for. I followed the advice of others and used orange juice which made it too bitter for me - for me the water would have been the better choice. I enjoyed the spicy taste and thought it was more like a dessert wine.

I wanted something different this Christmas, so I gave this a try. I really enjoyed it. I used orange juice as others suggested, and was worried about it being too sweet, but it was lovely. I used an inexspensive French wine and sipped it while preparing Christmas dinner. Sehr gut! Danke, Else!

I used up a couple of bottles of partly finished reds(one Italian, one French) for this recipe. I used half brown/white sugar and orange juice as recommended by other reviewers. The kitchen smelt wonderful and everyone enjoyed it. I will be making this again for New Years to keep us warm whilst watching fireworks.
