Oh, Honey! Mulling Over Mead

Spec’s has some great finds in their world-class wines. While the vast majority of wine is made with grapes, there are some outstanding outliers in the wine world. One of these unique beverages is an old-school brew known as mead, or “honey wine.”

The world of wine, spirits, and beer has a long history of fun fermentation, and mead – made with honey, yeast, and water – is a delicious adventure in alternative brewing. Mead has been around since 7000 BC and has counterparts in many countries, including China and Greece.

Mead is an excellent holiday or cold-weather beverage. If you’re looking for something unique for gifts and gatherings, it is an excellent, and often economical, choice. Additionally, mead is another option for mulling spices – perfect for a seasonal sipper!  Should the sweetness of honey deter you, rest assured that the sweetness of mead can vary widely, so there’s a sweetness level for every taste.

Texan mead breweries have been popping up recently, and Spec’s is at the forefront of bringing these local libations to you. With our lower prices on unique finds, you may just have a great new taste to toast!
