Description:
Bunratty Meade, meade from white wine with honey and herbs added recreates Mead, the drink of the ancient Gauls and Anglo Saxons which was made from fermented honey and water. Mead soon made its way into the courts of the Four Kings of Ireland and no banquet was complete without it. This honey-based drink was believed to have powers of virility and fertility, and it became custom for the bridge and groom to drink Mead for one full moon after their wedding, hence the term "honeymoon". In Ireland today, it is still a tradition to toast to the bride on their honeymoon from the wedding feast.
Bunratty Meade can be drunk chilled, before meals or as a relaxing after dinner drink. You may also enjoy Meade on the rocks with a slice of lemon. In the winter, nothing takes the chill out better than Meade as a hot toddy. And you may which to drink it at dinner with your chicken, turkey or game.
