An Ode to Mead
The Honey Drink of the Gods
Mead, also called honey wine, and hydromel (particularly when low in
alcohol content), is an alcoholic beverage made by fermenting honey
mixed with water, and sometimes with added ingredients such as fruits,
spices, grains, or hops. The alcoholic content ranges from about 3.5%
ABV to more than 20%. Possibly the most ancient alcoholic drink, the
defining characteristic of mead is that the majority of the beverage's
fermentable sugar is derived from honey. It may be still, carbonated, or
naturally sparkling, and despite a common misconception that mead is
exclusively sweet, it can also be dry or semi-sweet.
