Happy Saint Lucia's Day to all my Nordic friends. In honor of your deep winter festival of lights, I offer up this wonderful packaging for Blossa Glogg from Sweden. Glogg is a potent, mulled wine drink ideal for cold Scandinavian winter nights. The Blossa packaging, designed by BVD, changes each year to reflect that season's unique flavor. Gorgeous.
