Honey wine / mead. 11% alcohol, 0.75 liters. Delicious mead made from aromatic Yucatan honey from Mexico. Our ancestors took no prisoners, at least as far as alcoholic beverages were concerned. In the Middle Ages, it was common for everyone, whether man or woman, to drink alcohol whenever possible. Even the children got a beer soup for breakfast, this custom remained in Scandinavia until the 20th century. In Norse mythology, the mead in the Edda is referred to as the drink of the gods. It was believed that mead transmits a divine power to the drinker. It is established that mead and grape wine were man's first alcoholic beverages after beer, which has an even older history (about 5500 BC). According to Norse mythology, the Asen and Vanen, young and old gods, fought against each other. After the war was over, the Aesir and Vanir spat into a barrel as a symbol of peace. From the saliva of the gods came the wise man named Kvasir, who was killed by the dwarves Fjalar and Galar. They mixed his blood with honey and from this the skalden mead was born. This mead is said to bestow wisdom and poetry upon any being who drinks from it. Since the earliest times, the Germans, who had enough honey at their disposal through huge forests, have been making mead. Honey and mead have an antibacterial effect. Already in ancient times, healing powers against stomach and intestinal complaints or diseases of the respiratory tract were attributed to it. The mead was also used as an emetic and laxative for poisoning. It was used to gargle with inflammation and ulcers. The Romans used their "mulsum" with a wide variety of ingredients mixed against a variety of diseases: with the addition of finely chopped hazelnuts to combat chronic coughs; mingled with rye, it cures hip pain; Mixed with pea flour, it is used by women to regain a certain fullness after illness and is useful in cases of exhaustion. Mead was also often used to sweeten bitter-tasting medicines.
