What is Glühweine? Glühwein, mulled wine, vin chaud, or spiced wine is an alcoholic drink made with red wine and mulled spices, which is often served at Christmas Markets. While it is usually made with red wine, I wouldn’t be too surprised to find mulled craft beer in Korea since Korea’s craft beers are its own art form.

ìˆ¯ê³ ê°œë¶€ëŒ€ì°Œê°œ: Budae Jjigae
In our lives, when it’s rainy or cold, there are two things we eat: Budae Jjigae and Kimchi jjigae.
