With an ABV varying in strength between 8 to 20%. There are many sorts of mead drink, ranging from those that are made from fermented honey, to the roman style of mixing blends of honey with wine (known as mulsum mead).
The basic or traditional mead derives its taste from the blends of honey used to produce it. This original mead is often given different, additional flavours by infusion of various fruits, spices, grains or occasionally hops. Throughout our website, you will find a wide range of different mead drinks. From time to time we offer discounts when purchasing multiple bottles, which gives you an ideal opportunity to try out the different flavours on offer.
Mead is an incredibly old traditional alcoholic drink, it is arguably the oldest alcoholic beverage in human history, with evidence of its consumption dating back to 7000 BC in China. Mead is known from many sources of ancient history throughout Europe, Africa and Asia and is often referred to as “honey wine,” but it’s actually in a category of its own, “it can be regarded as the ancestor of all fermented drinks.”
The term “Honeymoon” is widely believed to come from an Old Northern European tradition, where newlyweds were given a month’s supply of mead, or a “moon’s worth” of mead, to encourage fertility and ensure a “sweet” start to their marriage.
