Munich Hotel's €18 Champagne Glühwein Puts a Luxury Spin on a Christmas-Market Staple

The Sofitel Munich Bayerpost plans pours of a one‑third Perrier‑Jouët blend starting Nov. 28, with a spokesperson calling the price a bargain compared with a glass of champagne.

Overview

  • Reports detail a recipe of roughly one‑third Perrier‑Jouët and two‑thirds white mulled wine with citrus notes, with the champagne added at serving to preserve carbonation.
  • The hotel’s hut near Munich’s main train station begins service on Nov. 28 and operates daily from 4:00 to 8:30 p.m.
  • Classic red or white mulled wine is offered for €7, which exceeds the Germany‑wide average of a little over €4.50 per cup cited by coupons.de.
  • Online reaction is divided, with some condemning the price and others noting it is a discretionary purchase.
  • Comparable premium variants are emerging elsewhere, including a €12 champagne mulled wine in Düren reported by Aachener Zeitung.
