Honey wine, also known as mead, is an alcoholic beverage created by fermenting honey with water. It can also include various fruits, spices, or herbs to enhance its flavor. The fermentation process typically involves adding yeast, which converts the sugars in honey into alcohol. Mead has a long history, dating back thousands of years and appearing in various cultures around the world. It can be enjoyed in different styles, ranging from sweet to dry, and may be still, carbonated, or sparkling. Today, honey wine is gaining popularity among craft beverage enthusiasts and is often produced by small-scale artisans.
