What would happen if you poured honey into the wine

Honey poured into wine generally does not produce harmful substances, but it may affect the taste and alcohol absorption rate. The main components of honey are fructose and glucose, which may delay gastric emptying and slow down alcohol absorption when mixed with alcohol. Honey contains a large amount of monosaccharides, which may produce a sweet and greasy taste when mixed with alcohol, masking some of the alcohol's stimulating sensation. This combination is commonly used in cocktail making, such as honey whiskey or honey rum. Honey may crystallize and precipitate in low temperature environments, and should be stirred evenly before consumption. Moderate drinking has no direct harm to healthy people, but diabetes patients need to carefully control sugar intake.

High Baijiu mixed with honey may destroy some active enzymes in honey and reduce its nutritional value. Mixing fermented alcoholic beverages such as beer with honey may accelerate secondary fermentation and produce excess gas. Alcohol allergy sufferers should avoid such combinations as they may worsen the allergic reaction. Long term heavy consumption may increase the metabolic burden on the liver, and it is recommended to control intake.

It is recommended to choose high-quality pure honey when drinking honey wine mixture to avoid inferior products containing additives. Drinking on an empty stomach may irritate the gastrointestinal mucosa, so it is best to pair it with food intake. Special populations such as pregnant women and liver disease patients should consult a doctor for advice. For daily consumption, try mixing honey with low alcohol fruit wine to reduce health risks, while also ensuring that total alcohol intake does not exceed safety standards.
