It’s cold outside and Christmas is on the way - which means it’s mulled wine season.
The mix of hot red wine and spices is a traditional festive favourite during December, with numerous different varieties available – from the German gluhwein to the Nordic glogg.
Some pour a couple of shots of gin or vodka to liven things up, while other insist on adding fruit to the mix.
Nearly every northern European country has their own traditional brew, often served up at Christmas markets to keep the cold away.
And plenty of Edinburgh pubs, bars and restaurants serve their own unique winter warmers.
Here are 10 of them.
