Hetta Glogg

Hetta Glögg is the easiest way to bring the cosy Scandinavian tradition of warm, spiced wine to your table. Glögg is the Nordic answer to mulled wine, and Hetta delivers it ready-made: there’s no steeping or guesswork, just heat and serve. Made in New York on a base of port wine from the Finger Lakes blended with California brandy, it’s a fortified wine at 21.9% ABV, so a small mug carries real warmth and depth.

The flavour is pure winter comfort — sweet orange peel and plump raisins woven through cinnamon and cardamom, all carried by the rich, port-like body. It’s smooth and gently sweet rather than sharp, the kind of drink that fills a room with the scent of the season.

To serve, warm it gently in a saucepan until it’s just steaming — never let it boil — and pour into small heat-proof mugs. Drop in a few raisins and blanched almonds for the traditional touch, and pair with gingerbread, saffron buns or any festive spread. Whether for a holiday party or a quiet snowy night in, Hetta Glögg makes the moment feel special.
