I would probably say it would be dandelion mead. I'm in the middle of making my first batch of mead now. I put oranges in the primary and took out for secondary but wouldn't call it orange wine! It sounds like a nice recipe though! Good luck : )
 
Technically, there is not enough sugar in dandelion to ferment by itself (only traces of nectar), so that's why we're normally using sugar to make a "wine".

Also, practically, a mead is simply a "honey wine".

Heck. If it was me, I'd be creative and call it a "Taraxacum Honey Wine". :drunk:

*EDIT*: Out of interest, that's the recipe I've (mostly) followed the first time around and It turned out reaalllly good: http://winemaking.jackkeller.net/request180.asp
