The warming winter drinks you’ve been missing from around the world

View this email in your browser

Hi everyone,

People have been making mulled wine for about as long as there's been crappy wine and cold weather. You're likely to come across the warm mix of wine and spices this winter if you're traveling anywhere in the Western world that has a bit of chill in the air -- especially if you plan on visiting any European Christmas markets. Here are some of the variations to look out for from Germany (glühwein), Brazil (quentão), Mexico (ponche Navideño), and elsewhere. For those looking for something a little stronger, partake in a glass of the other globe-spanning winter drink: eggnog.

Elsewhere in the world, we looked into the leading environmental measures in Champagne, France. Producers of everyone's favorite bubbly are putting sustainability front of mind while facing new challenges from climate change. Writer Jennifer Prince profiled the veterans behind Rakkasan Tea Company, which sources tea from post-conflict countries to promote economic growth. In South Carolina, assistant food and drink editor Elisabeth Sherman spoke with the chefs giving Gullah-Geechee cuisine the respect it deserves.

TRIP PLANNING

Where to eat in Atlanta

You can count on one thing in Atlanta: You will not go hungry. The city's food scene has exploded in the last five to 10 years, with new innovative eateries popping up all the time as locals scramble to sample the latest flavor.

Much like its transplant population, the eats here are ever evolving and diverse. Yes, you'll find Southern influences on menus (shrimp and grits, fried chicken, pimento cheese, etc.), but you'll also find restaurants inspired by the cuisines of France, Spain, Italy, Mexico, India, and Japan, not to mention plenty of farm-to-table contemporary American cuisine. Perhaps the best displays of the city's varied fare are at its popular food halls, Krog Street Market and Ponce City Market, where just about any craving can be satisfied.

Thanks to the popularity of the Atlanta Eastside Beltline Trail, a new rails-to-trails walking/biking path, much restaurant development has been focused in the Old Fourth Ward and Inman Park neighborhoods, where diners can use the path to bounce from one spot to another. That's not to say the rest of the city isn't worth exploring for food. The whole city is dense with exceptional restaurants, not to mention shops, art galleries, cocktail bars, and pubs, so pick a food spot that sounds delicious and then explore the area around it.
