Mead is an alcoholic beverage obtained from the fermentation of honey. Format: 50 cl Ingredients: Wildflower Honey, Water, Yeast Alcohol: 10%. What mead is and... what it is not! Mead is the Nectar of the Gods, Ambrosia; mead is the precious meditative and seductive drink that gives Wisdom and Poetry to those who drink it; mead is pure passion of which I want to tell. The name comes from the ancient Greek ýdro and meli: water and honey. It is in fact the alcoholic beverage obtained from the fermentation of honey in water, and not - as many believe - of apples. It should be served and consumed for greater enjoyment cool between 6 and 8 C°. Since mead is produced artisanally and not industrially, productions do not meet a standard.
