Sangria.

Are they really rated high? I rarely hear about them

The "spiced wine" mentioned (Glühwein or glögg) is the only one I know to be prevalent, and that as regional to Germany and Scandinavia. I've had warm sake once and it's not crap. I know cognac is also sometimes heated. But I didn't take to be a common thing.

Hot medovina beats mulled wine every time.

Hot sake isn't crap, but the rest mentioned are pretty vile.

I've never knowingly heard Ariel Pink, but fuck that guy.

Also in the UK as mulled wine (or cider). Mulling got us through a case of otherwise undrinkable Bulgarian red wine one Christmas. Underrated, if you ask me.

People actually talk about vodka?

I agree that most vodka is consumed in secret. But if someone is ordering it they're carrying on way too much about the liquor with the least personality.

The inverse of something posted in the other thread: Being a Workaholic.

This thread. It's just Tipping the Sacred Cows, without the hipster allusions.
