Gloggs

/ɡlɔɡz/ noun

Definition

Plural of glogg, a traditional Scandinavian mulled wine drink served hot, typically during winter and Christmas celebrations.

Etymology

From Swedish and Norwegian gløgg, possibly from German Glühwein (glowing wine). The term describes the heated, glowing quality of the spiced wine.

Kelly Says

Glogg is so central to Scandinavian culture that families have secret recipes passed down for generations, and Swedes drink more glogg during December than any other month—it's basically their version of eggnog.
