Mead is positioned as the beverage that gains more market share.

Since its inception, mead has enjoyed great popularity and has been characterized by mobilizing legions of followers.

The predilection for this drink, on the part of highly influential and respected personalities and deities, catapulted him to a deserved fame from minute one.

Practically all known civilizations have had mead as their first choice, having a great predominance in the four continents.

In America it was the Mayas; in Africa, different tribes were delighted with mead; in ancient Persia it was the Hindus who extended it to the rest of the Asian continent; and in Europe the Viking, Greek and Roman influence is already more than known.

But not everything has been "honey" in the history of this drink.

Their "lean" seasons, when consumption was in the minority, have also been widely known.

It had its lowest point around 1,700, as the long fermentations caused flavors not very pleasant to the palate.

It was also influenced by the fame that the wine was gaining at that time, but even so it knew how to maintain itself in areas where the grape crops were very difficult to maintain.

Despite its ups and downs, mead had already won a share of the hearts of those who once idolized and exalted it.
