| Mead is a fermented beverage made from honey. It is believed to be the oldest fermented beverage, first made before the dawn of written history. There is accurate evidence of meadmaking more than 5000 years ago. You can think of mead as a honey wine. It is not necessarily sweet, since the honey is fermented. It can range from as sweet as a dessert wine to bone dry. Fruits or herbs may be added to the mead as it ferments, producing a fascinating variety of styles. |
