Glühwein Prices Poised to Rise Up to 10% at 2025 Christmas Markets

Producers point to surging costs across freight, packaging, wages and energy.

Overview

  • Peter Rotthaus of the German Wine Cellars Association says a price increase of up to 10% is possible for the 2025 season.
  • On larger markets, consumers should expect around €5 per cup before the refundable deposit is added.
  • Dortmund plans to hold its price at €3.50 again this year, according to local organizers and Ruhr Nachrichten.
  • Nürnberg is reported at roughly €4.50 per cup, and smaller towns generally remain in the €3 to €4 range.
  • A YouGov survey found about 52% of Germans are willing to pay up to €5, while roughly 15% cap their spend at €3, and it remains unclear if last year’s ultra‑cheap Aldi market will return.
