| The word \"honeymoon\" is said to come from the ancient custom of toasting the bride and groom with goblets of mead (honey wine) and wishing them virility and fertility for the length of one full moon after the wedding. This delicious, popular mead has a cult-like following worldwide - and seriously, what's not to love? Serve chilled as an aperitif or as a dessert wine with fresh fruit or honey cake. |
