Germany does Christmas in a big way, and thousands of people travel there every December to shop at their famous Christmas markets. Gluhwein means "glow-wine". It is a version of a Mulled Wine that you might find warming you on a cold winter night after shopping at one!

This is a festive and simple preparation that I made to accompany a wonderful sauerbraten.
This tender, flavorful German pot roast is a great way to add some variety to your winter cooking. The gravy always gets happy comments!
The whole process takes at least 4 days because the roast must first marinate. Then it is slow-cooked in the strained marinade until it is fork-tender. Finally you make a gravy and thicken it with gingersnaps(!) It's really delicious served with piquant Festive Red Cabbage as shown here.
