I have one or two bottles of mead I made in 2009 lined up for my Yule feast on Wednesday, but it occurred to me that I don't know the correct 'receptacle' to drink it out of! :mellow:
Ideas please?

I'd go for the largest one possible, but not so large that it makes you feel sick as mead can be a bit sweet can't it :D :D :D
I found this on ask!
"A small flute or snifter are the typical serving vessels. No more than 5 ounces or actual mead is the average serving size.
Though I have heard of it being served in small mugs... Over kill if you ask me. Mead is far to sweet to drink more than a few ounces at a time."

My mead is dry and quite potent, which I suppose isn't traditional! :)

same as a whiskey glass should suffice.

Sherry glass for me

Just done the google thing; now this is more like it! 8)
Anyone fancy a quick wood turning job before Wednesday? :unsure:

Just come off the lathe in the shed after making a couple of 'Cup and Ball' games from an apple tree brach we had to 'trim', for Grandson and Grandnephew. Sad to say now one of my balls has started cracking ! :( Cheers, Tony.

Would have thought a sherry type glass (Whatever they are) would be fine.
Basically any glass that isn't too brutish. Less then half pint. :wacko:
Failing that a good grip on the bottle neck. :dry:
Have DJ of mead on the go at the moment, should be good for 18%+. :D :D
It isn't going to be sweet. ::) ::) ::)

When I said 'sherry glass' I meant the sort of 'copita' that they use to serve dry fino sherry in Jerez. It's a sort of long glass that narrows towards the top. Failing that I'd use a champagne 'flute' glass.

Easy answer.
If mead wine then a wine glass of some/any sort.
If mead ale then an ale glass or tankard of whatever sort comes to hand.
Just enjoy the stuff.

Do them myself with a freeware Draw prog from Serrif, and print them on A4 sticky back paper! 8)
