Mulled wine at Christmas markets costs around four euros
Anyone visiting one of the large Christmas markets in Baden-Württemberg this year can expect prices to remain stable in many places compared to last year. The drink in the typical 0.2-litre cup is likely to cost around four euros in most cases, according to responses from organizers when asked by Deutsche Presse-Agentur. In some places, mulled wine could also be sold for 3.50 euros.
An overview:
Prices at the Freiburg Christmas market would be around four euros, as they were last year, stated a spokeswoman for the municipal company responsible. A price brake of four euros had been introduced "due to the enormous price increases".
According to the organizer, a cup of mulled wine at the Mannheim Christmas market will cost between 3.50 and 4 euros - as it did last year. The pricing is in the hands of the exhibitors, it said.
The organizers of the Stuttgart Christmas market said that they could not say exactly how much a cup of mulled wine would cost. The vendors do not have to announce their prices before the Christmas market. However, they have been asked to keep prices moderate and set them at the same level as last year. "We therefore assume that a cup of mulled wine will cost around four euros," said a spokeswoman. Increased personnel costs, more expensive goods and higher energy costs could be reasons for price increases.
As in the previous year, four euros will be charged for mulled wine in Heidelberg. The price is set by the organizer as part of a uniform pricing policy.
The market office responsible for the Karlsruhe Christkindlesmarkt was unable to provide exact details on request. Exhibitors would have to apply in the spring and state their prices with reservations. A spokesperson assumed that prices would remain at the previous year's level of around 3.50 euros.
The mulled wine in Pforzheim will also cost 3.50 to 4 euros this year, although visitors will be able to look a little deeper into their glasses: According to the city of Pforzheim, the prices refer to 0.25-liter cups. The city council has no influence on the pricing. "However, it is conceivable from our point of view that some vendors have identified a "pain threshold" among their customers in terms of willingness to buy and would therefore like to forego price increases," said a spokesperson.
And on Lake Constance? In Constance, mulled wine costs an average of four euros, as it did last year, according to an inquiry.
Consumers visiting the Christmas markets in Baden-Württemberg can expect to pay around four euros for a cup of mulled wine, as customs typically involve treating oneself to festive drinks during this season. Price stability is being maintained in many locations, ensuring that mulled wine remains a beloved tradition for many Christmas celebrations.
