Bewined honey:  Honey with wine.
One quart honey.  Add 1 cup dry white wine.  Mix 'til well blended.
Serve.

Honey with anise.
One quart honey.  2 Tablespoons anise.   Crush anise.   Heat over low
flame until honey smells strongly of anise.  Serve.


I pulled these combinations out of my.....ear. They have no basis in
Apicius, other than being ingredients available to the needy Roman
cook....
