Lindisfarne Mead is an alcoholic beverage from Northumbria in the UK. Like other mead, Lindisfarne mead is fermented from honey. After four decades of negotiations, the company producing Lindisfarne Mead, Lindisfarne Ltd has gained permission to export its mead to the USA. US authorities had claimed Lindisfarne mead, as it contained grapes and herbs, was not mead by their definition. The product will be exported to the USA under the name Lindisfarne mede, in order to differentiate it from honey-only meads .
Famous quotes containing the word mead:
“Mead had studied for the ministry, but had lost his faith and took great delight in blasphemy. Capt. Charles H. Frady, pioneer missionary, held a meeting here and brought Mead back into the fold. He then became so devout that, one Sunday, when he happened upon a swimming party, he shot at the people in the river, and threatened to kill anyone he again caught desecrating the Sabbath.”
