Maxwell Wines Spiced Mead

Honeymoon 的由來

同大家講下甜甜蜜蜜的蜂蜜酒 Honey Mead

古人在公元前BC 7000 年（起碼）已經識得釀造蜂蜜酒，因為佢嘅做法實在太簡單，就係蜂蜜加水，神奇嘅事就發生啦，講完

以比較科學嘅角度來講，係因為大自然中有野生酵母，有酵母，有糖分，酵母食咗啲糖，就會變成酒精㗎喇

蜂蜜在古時是非常珍稀的資源，古人用蜂蜜酒祭祀神明，，是皇室貴族、古希臘神話宙斯天神的寵兒

蜂蜜酒又香又甜又有營養，在中世紀的歐洲，新婚夫婦第一個月做咩？足不出戶有咩做？冇錯！就係造⋯酒！

新娘會製作蜂蜜酒給新郎喝，據說可以強壯身體，虎虎生威，提高生產力

所以新婚第一個月，就叫做Honey Moon啦

而喺而家嘅歐洲傳統習俗裏面，新人亦都會收到蜂蜜酒，喻意甜甜蜜蜜

而家嘅蜂蜜酒Honey當然唔會靠晒大自然嘅力量咁佛系，做一支靚嘅蜂蜜酒，選用嘅蜂蜜同酵母都有嚴格嘅規定，經過反覆嘅調整同時間嘅控制，先可以做出”神級”嘅Honey Mead

金黃色的body ，聞落去清新的花香、濃郁的花蜜、杏子味道，由於啲糖分已經比啲酵母，所以其實甜得來唔係好甜

With a keen and enquiring mind Ken Maxwell was a student of history, a notable measure of eccentricity saw his passion lean not to the long deceased Kings and Queens filling the educational text books of the time, but to the obscure and creative beverages upon which they indulged.

After a decade or more of experimentation with different honeys and yeasts, the famous Maxwell Honey Mead was born. The first commercial label was released in 1966 and with it, the birth of the Australian mead industry.

Mark Maxwell remains true to the recipe and techniques pioneered by his father. Though the package may have evolved over the years, the quality and purity of the mead has not. A benchmark for others to follow, it has been awarded the ‘best pure varietal mead’ gold medal at the International Mead Festival Competition in the USA.
