There is a popular drink on German christmas markets called "Lumumba" and it's hot cocoa with a shot of rum, named after an assassinated Congolese politician.
Normal wine isn't really a common drink on German christmas markets. I'd say the German "Glühwein" rolls off the tongue easier than "mulled wine", too. I guess this joke is just lost in translation ...
I just read his wiki page and that's even worse than an Irish car bomb. He fought for his people's independence from their colonizers...and got a racist drink named after him
Oh! If it's translated that might explain it, totally. Jokes are strange like that, lol
