WINE IS FROM GRAPES. MEAD IS FROM HONEY.
Mead is a unique and ancient beverage, made by fermenting honey. It is thought to be the world’s oldest fermented drink, originating in Northern China as far back as 7,000 BC. When the ancient Greeks discovered it, they called it ‘ambrosia’ - nectar of the gods.
Maxwells introduced mead to Australia, and has set the benchmark for honey mead production since the first label was released in 1966.
