When you drink Cornish Mead, you are drinking History.
Before any other alcoholic drink was thought of, Mead was being drunk in the great halls and palaces of England, a fit toast for heroes. The making of Mead was an art preserved for centuries inside the monasteries. When these were dissolved by Henry VIII, the drinking of Mead fell into disuse until recent times when the ancient recipes have been revived in Cornwall, and Mead is being rediscovered by a new generation of Englishmen.
When you drink Cornish Mead‚ you are drinking Love.
The association between Mead and marriage goes back to pagan times when the custom was for the happy couple to drink honey wine at their wedding and for a month afterwards, from which we derive the word Honeymoon. Indeed, Cornish Mead is renowned to this day as the honeymoon drink. As well as its health and energy-giving properties, Mead has gained a reputation as an aphrodisiac. We recommend individual research by our customers into this aspect of this delicious drink.
When you drink Cornish Mead‚ you are drinking Nature.
Honey is the chief ingredient, giving Mead its distinctive, Summery taste. Grape-juice and other natural products go to make up a drink full of health and goodness, blending to highlight the flavour born of the flowers, Cornish Mead is served in two strengths: Mead Wine and Liqueur Mead. It has been a favourite in the West Country for many years now, and more people all over the country are discovering it every day. Be the next!
