Any Mead Drinkers?

[Ludeykrus]

So about six years ago, I brewed a large batch of semi-sweet mead. Since then, I've moved two or three times. Most of the bottles were lost, mishandled, left out for years in varying Georgia summer and winter weather, or the corks unsealed and the mead oxidized.

Well lately I have been rearranging my apartment, and decided to 'dispose' of the two remaining bottles, assuming they were bad. One had a faulty cork and had oxidized, the other was actually extremely good despite its history. It rivaled the two commercial meads I have tasted so far.

Since we have many purveyors of wine on here, I figured there might be one or two who appreciate the sweet or dry wine of honey that eludes most spirits stores' shelves...

Any partakers?

I drink mead sometimes. I prefer it a bit more dry though.

I've had a few different meads. . . usually when I'm at a vineyard or wine store during a wine tasting event and they bring out some of their "specialty" wines.

I've only bought one bottle of mead. It's not that it is bad, it just isn't as good for the money as a lot of other wines I could get. The cheapest bottles I see are usually 10 to 15 USD. I can get tasty bottles of red wine for that. . .

I've only had my buddy's homebrewed mead. He did a good job but it's not something that I would go out of my way to drink.

I actually just tried Mead for the first time a couple days ago. Can't say it was my favorite thing in the world but it was definitely interesting -- seemed more like an after dinner drink as opposed to something I would randomly have in the middle of the day.

My sisters BF who is also a brewer is making some dry mead. Will get back to you in a year.

Seriously though....I have never seen it in a liquor store and dont know if I would go out of my way to get it.

My favorite pub serves warm mead from a crock pot during the Christmas season. I've come to associate mead with the holidays
