Mead is a delicious category of adult beverage derived from fermenting honey (with water), which differs from wine and cider, which are both made from fermented fruit. Enjoyed by Vikings, Mayans, Egyptians, Romans, and considered to be "nectar of the Gods" by the Greeks, mead is a diverse category that can be sweet, dry or sparkling!
