For a richer flavor, use a full-bodied red wine such as Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot. Adjust the amount of sugar to your taste preference. For an extra layer of spice, add a star anise or a few cardamom pods to the simmering mixture. If you don't have whole cloves, 1/4 teaspoon of ground cloves can be substituted. Glühwein can be made ahead of time and reheated gently before serving. Store in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
