Product details
Grzaniec Galicyjski Honey is a Polish honey mulled wine at 12% ABV in a 1L bottle, ready to heat and serve. Known in Polish as Miodowy, meaning honeyed, it combines floral honey with the brand's clove-forward spice mix. The honey softens the spices and gives a round, sweet character, which makes it a gentle introduction to Polish winter drinks. Serve it when friends come in from the cold, at a Christmas party or on a quiet Advent weekend.
Grzaniec Galicyjski Honey tasting notes
- Aroma: Floral honey, clove and a hint of cinnamon.
- Taste: Sweet and smooth, honey first, with spice and soft fruit behind.
- Finish: Honeyed and gently spiced.
How to drink Grzaniec Galicyjski Honey
Serve it hot in glass mugs, garnished with a cinnamon stick and an orange slice. It pairs with pierniczki (small gingerbread biscuits), roast chestnuts or baked apples, and its soft sweetness also suits a slice of Christmas cake. A pot on the stove makes a welcoming smell when guests arrive for a winter supper.
How to warm Grzaniec Galicyjski Honey
Heat it slowly in a pan to about 70°C, stirring now and then, and take it off before it simmers so the honey aroma survives.
- Honey Grog: add 20 ml dark rum and a lemon wheel to 150 ml hot Grzaniec Galicyjski Honey in a heatproof glass.
- Honey Ginger Cup: heat 150 ml Grzaniec Honey with two slices of fresh ginger and serve with a lemon wedge.
How it compares
Within the range, Honey is sweeter and softer than the original Grzaniec Galicyjski at 13.5% ABV. If you enjoy honey drinks, compare it with an Apis mead such as Trójniak Staropolski Tradycyjny, which is fermented from honey rather than flavoured with it and can be served cool as well as warm.

Po polsku
Złocisto-bursztynowy Grzaniec Galicyjski Miodowy (Honey) łączy kwiatowy miód z goździkową mieszanką przypraw. Ma 12% mocy i pojemność 1 l, a miód łagodzi korzenne nuty i nadaje mu okrągłą słodycz, dlatego to dobry początek znajomości z polskimi zimowymi trunkami. W smaku najpierw pojawia się miód, potem przyprawy i delikatne owoce. Po podgrzaniu do około 70°C warto dodać laskę cynamonu i plaster pomarańczy, a obok postawić pierniczki lub pieczone kasztany.
Frequently asked questions
Is Grzaniec Galicyjski Honey the same as mead?
No. Grzaniec Galicyjski Honey is a spiced wine-based drink with honey added for sweetness, whereas mead such as Apis Trójniak Staropolski Tradycyjny is made by fermenting honey itself. Both share a honeyed character, but the mulled wine carries more clove and spice.
What does 'Miodowy' mean on Grzaniec Galicyjski Honey?
Miodowy means 'honeyed' or 'made with honey', from miód, the Polish word for honey. It is the Polish name for Grzaniec Galicyjski Honey, the softest and most floral edition of the brand's mulled wine.
What can I add to Grzaniec Galicyjski Honey when heating it?
Grzaniec Galicyjski Honey is already spiced, so it needs nothing extra, but a slice of orange, a star anise or a few fresh cranberries add colour and aroma. Add them to the pan while warming and keep the heat below a simmer.
