Roweka instead of mulled wine?

Roweka conquers Germany

Roweka - sounds strange, but is super tasty. The name already reveals what the trend drink of winter 2017 is all about: ROtWEinKakao. It combines two flavors that we already love separately. Hot chocolate meets the tart nuances of red wine. Even trained sommeliers swear that chocolate and red wine go well together - it's clear that Roweka is the trend drink of 2017.

There are already numerous pictures of the sweet trend drink on Instagram:


The tastiest Roweka recipe

You don't need many ingredients for Roweka. Hot milk, cocoa powder (dark is best, as the darker the better it goes with wine) and red wine. It is best to choose a dry or semi-dry wine so that the drink is not too sweet. The perfect Roweka is ready! Cheers!
