Mead, often referred to as 'honey wine', is noted as potentially the oldest alcoholic drink in the world, dating back thousands of years to ancient civilizations.
Historically, mead has ricocheted around the world, with notable traditions in Ethiopia, where t'ej is a honey wine made with buckthorn leaves and has deep cultural significance.
The resurgence of mead in the United States is significant; the American Mead Maker's Association saw the number of meaderies grow from 60 in 2003 to about 450 by 2020.
Although mead and cider share fermentation as a commonality, they differ greatly; mead is crafted from honey and can vary significantly in sweetness and ABV.
