Every country has it's version of this holiday recipe - from the German Gluhwein to the Italian Vin Brul?.
Here is a great and tasty of how the Swedes have incorporated the enticing flavors of tropical spices. In gl?gg the liquids are steeped with various spices. What better way to keep spirits high when the sun disappears for months? A Christmas gathering with no gl?gg is unthinkable in Sweden, akin to a Superbowl party with no beer.

Thai Food and Wine Pairing

The Basics of Pairing Wine with Thai Cuisine. Think about the sauce: The old adage “white wine with white meat and red wine with red meat” doesn’t carry much weight anymore, especially with a cuisine as flavorful as Thai.
