Mmm, this was really nice, and surprisingly refreshing with the honey in it. I served it REALLY cold

This was good . . probably been better if I'd had used a sweeter wine, but overall not bad.

Interesting! I used white zin for this. I liked it much better when i decreased the water and increased the wine! I am SUCH a wino! Thanks for an interesting and tasty recipe Jessica!

I picked this to make for ZWT because riesling is a personal favourite w/me & was mentioned as 1 of the wines to use. The outcome did not disappoint me, altho I confess I halved the water & honey to preserve more of the riesling flavour I like so much. This was a quick fix that I really enjoyed, but prob won’t do often as I like riesling so well as it is. Thx for posting this unique taste experience.

I too thought this was interesting...not normally something I would try as I like dry, not sweet, wines. I also cut back on the water

I also decreased the water as another reviewer mentioned. DH drank his down (not much of a wine drinker) it was different, not bad just really different )

We made this with Rhine. It actually did taste alot like mead. We had it on a very hot day and it was wonderfully refreshing.

This was an experience in wine LOL! I thought it was pretty sweet, but of course it would be with the added honey. It was a fun addition to my African meal. Thanks for posting!

Very good! I too like dry wines, but (rather surprisingly!) I really liked this! I did use dry white wine since that was what I had, made 1 serving (1 dl wine, 1 dl water, 2 teaspoons honey), and ended up with a lovely summer drink - the wine was not just "watered down" but made into a new smooth drink with the added flavour of honey. Thanks much for posting!
