Hello, my name is Mitch Carpenter.  I would like to thank anyone who happens to read this for taking the time.  I am very interested in making wine, specifically, mead.  In the article on mead, it says that mead is traditionally made with beer yeast and has an ABV of between 8% and 18%.  This cannot be true as beer yeasts generally don't go much beyond 10% ABV (Alcohol By Volume).  This is a very important difference between wine and beer, otherwise you'd just call barley wine barley ale or beer.
The second point is that " Honey Wine " is generally not made with fruit of any kind.  If you used grapes it would be a pyment, and if you used fruit it would be a malomel.  It is noted in the lists of various kinds of mead and kind of defeats the basic premise of the article to label it such.  Again, thanks for reading this and I would appreciate any feedback that I might receive.
