Frequently asked questions

How strong is a Gluehwein?
The strength of Gluehwein depends on the exact measures and ingredients used. The current record does not support a precise ABV claim.
How much Gluehwein should I make?
Punch recipes scale easily — multiply each ingredient by the number of guests. Allow roughly one 150–200ml serving per person per hour. Mix everything except sparkling elements at least an hour ahead and add ice and soda just before serving to preserve carbonation.
