How to Drink Mead:
To truly appreciate mead, start by choosing the right type for your taste—whether thats a sweet, semi-sweet, or dry variety. Serve it chilled or at room temperature, depending on the style and your personal preference. We recommend drinking meads that are sparkling at 45 degrees and from a wine glass if its over 8% ABV. If the mead is still and fruity, we recommend drinking at 45 degrees (slightly chilled). If the mead is still and barrel aged or aged on oak, we recommend drinking at 65 degrees (similar to a red wine). Pour it into a wine glass to fully appreciate its aroma and color, much like you would with a fine wine. Take a moment to smell the mead before you sip, letting the unique fragrances prepare your palate. When you take your first sip, let it linger in your mouth to catch all the subtle flavors. Mead pairs wonderfully with food, so consider matching it with dishes that complement its sweetness or acidity. From sipping slowly to enjoy the complexity of flavors to finding the perfect food pairing, drinking mead is about savoring the moment and the craftsmanship that goes into each bottle.
