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.

 

Cheers!

 

It is said that we could be in front of the healthiest alcoholic beverage that exists, within - of course - the limitations that demand a responsible consumption of this type of products.

And we don't just say it.

For our ancestors, the mead drink was considered curative because, among other virtues, it had the ability to facilitate digestion after abundant meals.  They, as we see, gave it a use beyond the merely pleasurable.

Nowadays, those of us who have been fond of incorporating it in our best celebrations, know that mead houses phenomenal with fish, meat and cheese, and that it is the perfect pair of pâtés and pure chocolate tasting.

But there's more.

Of course, we will never tire of repeating that its consumption must be moderate and have the logical precaution because it is an alcoholic beverage.

The big screen

In recent years we must thank the small and large screen for helping to bring back the popularity of this delicious drink.

From series such as "Vikings", which has already become so popular, to films such as "Harry Potter", both the celluloid and the universe of domestic series have contributed their grain of sand to further enhance, if possible, this delicious drink.

The most curious have alwaysasked us what kind of drink our favorite characters used to consume.

Normally we have always seen wine and beer in series and films, or so we believed, because in many occasions those drinks were nothing more than mead, given that in their great variety some types of mead are similar in color to wine and beer.

In case you haven't noticed, the "hobbits" and Aragorn himself, in The Lord of the Rings, proudly showed their mead drink glasses with which, together with succulent meals, they celebrated the victory of some of their battles.

For this reason, in this post we invite you to get to know the world of mead more deeply, and to discover it alone or together with some friends, feeling like the protagonists of your favourite series and films.
