I'm 5'2". Let me know.
Got me beat, but somehow I think he must need a smurf or something. Guys like you and me aren't that hard to find.
Wouldn't honey wine just be mead?
And with my experience, a good mead takes 2-3+ years to age.
Yup, its mead. How long it should/needs to age has a good amount to do with the strength, yeast used, honey used, and processes used. A LOW ABV mead could be ready for bottles in a year (or so).
BTW, mead, like other wines, is heavily [flavor] influenced by the honey used. The honey can be very different from year to year even if gathered from the same hives at the same time. So, unless the OP has the same batch of honey he used available, mead made now could be very different. If he's looking for help in actually making the batches of mead, the that's a bit different. If that is the case, then he can also PM me about it.
Pretty sure mead is classified as a wine, making it illegal for a brewery to to make without a separate winery license and delineated wine and beer production spaces and equipment.
But these TTB laws only really apply to humans . . . there is hope still.
