May_wine
May wine, also known as Maitrank, Maiwein, Maibowle and Waldmeisterbowle, is the name of aromatized wine or punch made with it popular in Germany. May wine is served in the spring, traditionally on the May Day holiday. The base is made by steeping the fragrant creeping herb sweet woodruff (Galium odoratum, sometimes called Asperula odorata, known in Germany as Waldmeister) that grows in the forests of Northern Europe in a white German wine. It is the specialty of the town of Arlon, in the south of Belgium.
