And the hubs complains about it being cold here. I cannot imagine travelling either way in the dead of winter. Originally, it was a stronger concoction that was used to warm up messengers and postmen who travelled on horseback or on skis during winter in Scandanavia. Since I shared some history of the cookie recipes I shared last week, I thought I’d share a little history about Swedish gløgg. Just to clarify, Mom has had wine ALL OVER THE WORLD! Include Italy, California, Australia, New Zealand, etc. Not to mention the fact that Mom and some Cali peeps are quite impressed with these wines, too. It’s a local product and we support local farmers, etc. Granted I feel like most of it is worth it, but still. It just blows my mind that the same thing can happen to us repeatedly. I feel like that’s something I’d want to do. How can they send two of the same thing to our house that arrive on the same day? Wouldn’t a red light go off if you had the exact same name on two labels on two packages? Even if it is completed by a computer, someone should at least check the list of recipients for duplicates. I mean, they mark us off in some computer that we’ve picked things up. Are there no checks and balances at this place? I’m starting to wonder how in the world this can happen repeatedly. Both of them had the exact same quantities of the same wine in there. About 2 months ago, two packages show up. So, we catch up on all our past shipments, or so we thought. Of course, it was crap swill we wouldn’t have become members. Thankfully, it’s really good wine and not some crap swill. Yes, we walked out with several more bottles of wine than we intended. No, we do not drink THAT much wine!įast forward to the next time we headed there to pick some up and the same thing happened. So, we walked out with about 9 or 10 bottles of wine. So, one quarter we went to pick up our wine and they gave us the current selection as well as the last two quarters selection. Well, they never actually shipped it to us. Now, you’re supposed to pick up the wine by a certain date or they’d ship it to you. He’s forgetful that way.Īnyway, we used to belong to this wine club. One can only hope that the hubs has cancelled that one, but we’ll just have to see in the next month or two. You see, we used to belong to this wine club. It just sort of popped up into my feed when I was searching for a recipe to make. I wasn’t really LOOKING for a Swedish mulled wine recipe. It’s Swedish (or Danish some might say) like I am. So, last week I make cookies from my heritage. I received product samples from sponsor companies to aid in the creation of the ChristmasSweetsWeek recipes. This post is sponsored in conjunction with ChristmasSweetsWeek. Warm up with the spicy goodness that is mulled wine! Gløgg is a Swedish mulled wine packed with spice, a little sugar, and some fresh orange flavor.
