In more recent times, the Vikings believed honey wine to be an aphrodisiac and a potion for male virility. In their culture, a newlywed couple drank honey wine for one calendar month after their wedding to promote the conception of a child early in the marriage. This period was referred to as the ‘honey-month’, that has now evolved into the tradition of the honeymoon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is made simply by fermenting honey. Archaeological evidence suggests it is the oldest fermented drink known to mankind – the first meads may have been enjoyed around 9,000 years ago in Northern China. Throughout human history, and in many different cultures across Europe, Africa and Asia, wines made from fermented honey have been hailed for their flavour and their effect on the human experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIsland Beehive teamed up with Maxwell Wines, the largest and most successful producer of mead in the southern hemisphere, to produce a Kangaroo Island Ligurian Honey Mead which would be only available from Island Beehive on Kangaroo Island.
