What is mead? Honey wine with history, myth, and trendy charm.
Mead is a honey wine – a fermented beverage made from honey and water, often flavored with spices, fruits, or juices such as apple, berry, or cherry. The fermentation process produces alcohol, which, depending on the recipe and yeast used, usually ranges between 11 and 16 percent by volume. Some varieties of mead have an even higher alcohol content, while softer meads have a slightly lower one.
Classic honey mead / mead wine – golden yellow, sweet to semi-dry
Met Rot – with fruit content such as cherry or berries, darker and more intense
Viking mead / Viking drink – often stronger, more rustic, often served from a horn
Alcohol-free mead – inspired by the taste of honey, but without the alcohol.
Mead acts like a liquid ritual object: you share it with your crew, celebrate it on the balcony, in the rehearsal room, or at festivals. Where others drink Prosecco, you raise your horn.

strong, sweet mead
rustic flair (horns, wooden cups, rune design)
rather high revolutions

Mead and the scene: Why honey wine is a perfect fit for the Gothic and alternative community
Mead doesn't just belong in a museum, but in the present. It fits particularly well in the Gothic, Pagan, and Metal scenes because it:
It looks archaic – honest, raw, handcrafted
It tastes mystical – honey, herbs, spices… like a drinkable ritual.
It has subculture vibes – far removed from mainstream beer and sweet alcopops.
You style yourself with black Gothic clothing from our shop, for example with an EASURE Gothic shirt or a Gothic hoodie , put on Baphomet jewelry , light candles, place tarot cards next to them – and there's mead on the table. The drink fits perfectly into the overall imagery of darkness, symbolism, and ritual.
Met goes well with:
Concerts and festivals – Metal, Gothic, Pagan, Folk
Private rituals , tarot sessions and incense evenings – combined with witchcraft products
You live a nonconformist life, you wear statements against fascism, you're into dark art – mead suits you better than the standard drink from TV commercials.

light varieties : approx. 8–10% vol.
Standard mead : approx. 11-14% vol.
Stronger variants : sometimes 15–18% ABV.
Factors:
Sugar content of honey – more honey, more potential alcohol
Fermentation time – longer fermentation ferments more sugar.
Yeast strain – different alcohol tolerance
Adding extra sweetener affects the sweetness, but not necessarily the alcohol content.
Mead often seems smoother than it actually is due to its sweetness. This tempts you to drink it faster than intended. For festivals and club nights: Drink mead mindfully , take breaks, and drink water in between. Your outfit will last longer if you're not already lying flat on your back by 9 pm.

Buying mead: What you should look out for when buying honey wine
If you want to buy mead , it will help to look at a few criteria that say more than just "sweet" or "strong".
1. Honey type and quality
Honey leaves its mark:
Aroma – floral, strong, woody, resinous
Color – from light yellow to deep amber
Many sellers rely on:
Mixed honey for an affordable base
More intense honeys for sweetening
The clearer the shop or manufacturer communicates where the honey comes from, the more transparent the mead.
2. Sweetness level
Met ranges from:
dry
semi-dry
semi-sweet
sweet
Liqueur-like sweetness (especially in Viking Trunk and special varieties)
If you are new:
Start with semi-sweet or sweet varieties, then gradually work your way up to drier options.
3. Met alcohol content
Check the label:
approximately 11–14% vol. for standard metals
above for robust varieties
For cozy movie nights with several glasses, lighter varieties are recommended, while a stronger mead is also suitable for ritual or festival moments.
4. Style: Classic, Fruit Mead, Spiced Mead
Ask yourself:
Do you want classic honey flavor? → Mead / Mead Wine
Want a fruit explosion? → Red Mead , Cherry Mead, or Berry Mead
Do you want a spice ritual? → Mead with herbs and spices
Conscious consumption of mead harmonizes with conscious consumption of clothing and accessories. You prefer to choose fewer products, but ones with soul, attitude, and history.

Frequently asked questions about mead, honey wine and Viking drink
When is mead drunk?
You drink mead when you crave a sweet, ritualistic beverage steeped in history. Traditionally, mead is enjoyed hot in winter, like dark mulled wine, at medieval markets or festivals served from a horn, and in summer chilled as a mead spritzer or neat in a wine glass. Mead is perfect for concerts, LARPs, gaming nights, or dark rituals with candles, whether it's classic honey mead, a fruity red mead, or a robust Viking mead.
What does mead taste like?
Mead tastes like honey – but not like spoonfuls of honey from a jar. The flavor is reminiscent of wine, combined with honey aromas: from mildly floral to robustly woody. Depending on the variety, mead can be sweet, semi-sweet, or almost dry. Red mead introduces fruity notes like cherry or berries, while Viking mead is often heavier and sweeter. Non-alcoholic mead focuses on aroma and sweetness without the alcohol.
What percentage is Met?
The alcohol content of mead is usually between 11 and 14% by volume, similar to strong wine. Some varieties, especially Viking Trunk or special mead types, reach approximately 16–18% by volume. Lighter versions or non-alcoholic mead are for those who love the taste of honey wine but drink less or no alcohol. When buying mead, always check the alcohol content on the label.
Is mead honey wine?
Yes. Mead is the traditional name for honey wine . Both terms describe the same basic product: fermented honey with water, often complemented with fruits, spices, or herbs. In German shops, you'll therefore find terms like "honey wine mead" or "mead wine" to make it clear that it's a wine-like, honey-based beverage. Internationally, you'll also encounter mead under the name mead .
What is the difference between mead and wine?
Classic wine is made from fermented grapes, while mead is made from fermented honey and water, sometimes with added fruit or spices. The alcohol content is similar, but mead is usually softer and sweeter than many grape wines. Instead of typical grape aromas, you'll taste honey, herbs, and, depending on the variety, fruit. For fans of Gothic, Pagan, and medieval culture, mead, with its mythical background, often fits their aesthetic better than standard wine.
What types of mead are there?
You'll find many varieties: classic honey mead/mead wine , fruity red mead with cherry or berries, robust Viking mead for feasts, spiced mead with cinnamon, vanilla, or herbs, and non-alcoholic mead , which offers the honey flavor without the alcohol. There are also specialty varieties such as mead with a wood barrel note or mead with chili. Depending on the occasion, you can choose sweet, semi-sweet, or strong versions – from a cozy fireside gathering to a lively festival night.
How is mead drunk – hot or cold?
Both methods work. You drink mead cold like white wine: chilled in a glass, neat, on ice, or as a mead spritzer with sparkling water or lemon. You prepare mead hot at around 50–55 °C, flavor it with cinnamon, cloves, orange, or vanilla, and drink it like a dark mulled wine. Hot mead is perfect for the winter solstice, Halloween, and spooky movie nights in hoodies and tights, while chilled mead is ideal for summer festivals, Viking-themed campfires, and balcony nights with friends.
