It is a traditional alcoholic beverage created by fermenting the wort of bee honey, usually lime honey. Since 2008, Polish mead has been registered by the European Commission as a Guaranteed Traditional Specialty.
Mead is produced in meadery. The traditional division of meadery distinguishes half-pint mead, two-pint mead, three-pint mead, and four-pint mead. This division refers to the amount of water used to dilute the honey, from which the wort is made.
