Mead technically is a form of wine, though it's not made from grapes.
Then there’s metheglyn (wine made from honey and herbs) and melomel (wine made with honey and fruit) if you’re being technical. Not sure about the technical name for chocolate mead (chocolate comes from cocoa beans, which might be considered a fruit…)
You might like actual strawberry wine (wine made from strawberries, not wine made from grapes with strawberry flavor added--they do NOT taste the same). Some of the small Wisconsin wineries make good strawberry wine.
I stick to meads for the moment though, I will admit, that I will likely branch out to add in some melomels. Im trying to find the right flavor of honey to use. Something light and forgiving of foreign flavors (and the acid).
Im also going to attempt to make my "private consumption" quota this year.
