Mead is sometimes called Honeywine, but this is a misnomer. It is no more a wine than beer is. It is an alcoholic beverage that is produced by fermenting a solution of honey and water. To be classified as Mead no less than 51% of the fermentable sugars must come from honey. Depending on local traditions and specific recipes, it may be flavoured with spices, fruit, or hops. It may be still, carbonated, or sparkling, and it may be dry, semi-sweet, or sweet. It is, without a doubt, the worlds oldest fermented beverage, occurring naturally long before man discovered the secrets of the process.
There are many mead styles but the below styles are the most common:
Show mead: A term which has come to mean "plain" mead: that which has honey and water as a base, with no fruits, spices or extra flavorings.
Hydromel - Hydromel literally means "water-honey" in Greek. It is also the French name for mead. It is also used as a name for a very light or low-alcohol mead.
Braggot - Originally brewed with honey and hops, later with honey and malt with or without hops added.
Metheglin - Metheglin starts with traditional mead but has herbs and/or spices added.
Melomel - Melomel is made from honey and any fruit. Depending on the fruit-base used, certain melomels may also be known by more specific names (see cyser or pyment for examples).
Cyser - A blend of honey and apple juice fermented together.
Pyment - Pyment blends honey and red or white grapes.
Bochet - A mead where the honey is caramelized or burned separately before adding the water. Yields toffee, caramel, chocolate and toasted marshmallow flavors.
Capsicumel - A mead flavored with chilli peppers, the peppers may be hot or mild.
