Frequently Asked Questions
William and Pailin
Honey wine, or mead, is fermented from honey and water rather than grapes. Day Drinkers Collective makes a light, sparkling, bone-dry version, nothing thick or sweet.
Traditional mead is often still, sweet, and heavy. Day Drinkers is sparkling, dry, and closer to a natural wine or pet-nat in style. Think tropical and refreshing.
Yes. The only ingredients are honey, water, wild yeast, and sometimes seasonal fruit. No animal products are used.
Local beekeepers in Chiang Dao, Northern Thailand. Every batch is lab-tested to verify pollen origin and purity.
Fermentation happens spontaneously using native yeast present on the honey and in the air. Nothing commercial is added. They discovered this by accident and never went back.
Yes. It's seasonal. Longan blossom honey tastes different from lychee flower honey, which tastes different from wildflower honey. Each bottling is a snapshot of the landscape at that moment.
Well chilled. Pour it into a wine glass or tumbler, no wrong answers. It also shines in spritzes and Negroni-style cocktails or simply just over ice.
Drink within a week. Keep it sealed and refrigerated. Like any living wine, it evolves in the glass and the bottle.
Our favorite pairing is with bold Southeast Asian dishes. Larb, spicy soups, curries, anything with chilli and lime. The wine's natural sweetness balances heat beautifully.
