| Bernd, In Stuttgart and in München the "ready made" stuff is sold at the various Weihnachts' Markt by the hundreds of litres and some are not bad at all. I too prefer the home made variety which is usually made in England because they do not have the same sort of Christmas markets that we have here. It is a very old tradition.
