mead and honey wine making kitsMead and Honey Wine
   Mead wine is the oldest alcohol containing drink known to man. In prehistoric times, honey would drip from bee hives and collect in pools of rain water. Wild yeast would consume the sugar and produce the nectar of the gods. Almost every civilization has lore and myths associated with the consumption of mead.
100% PURE HONEY
Direct from the hive - No Blending  - No Additives
The type of honey used to make mead is critical.  It must be pure and unblended.  Many store shelf honey's have additives ranging from corn syrup to preservatives.
