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.

I made this for a Christmas party last weekend. I quadrupled the recipe and all if it was gone by the end. The only change I made was cutting the water in half and adding OJ for the other half. A very good German friend loved it.

My boyfriend is from a tiny village near Wasserberg in Bavaria. He was missing Gluehwein so I made this recipe for him and his boss, who is from Regensberg. They say that this recipe is actually what they call "Punsch", and that Gluehwein is heated wine too but a bit different. I dunno, maybe this is known as Gluehwein in other regions of Germany. Still, we enjoyed this recipe very much!
