Mead

Traditional Honey-Wine. Popular in the Far south of The Grand.
Mead [mEEd] is an alcoholic beverage created by fermenting honey with water, sometimes with various fruits, spices, grains, or hops. The alcoholic content ranges from about 3.5% ABV to more than 20%. The defining characteristic of mead is that the majority of the beverage's fermentable sugar is derived from honey. The terms "mead" and "honey-wine" often are used synonymously. Some cultures, though, differentiate honey-wine from mead.
