Who likes mead ?
ok I've been making mead for years, and tonight is the first night in my life in which I've actually bought commercial mead. I'd have to say this brand receives my approval. 
Tastes nearly the same as my 3rd batch!
Ignore the funky emotionless expression. I be wasted

Re: Who likes mead ?
umm? Non-alcoholic? that's new to me.
Simple mead recipe according to Jmattioli...trust me this was my first recipe and it's so good. I have only made 2 other kinds of mead and in all honesty this one is my favorite despite the lack of tech and kinds of mead...etci:
Simple recipe, practically fool proof called ancient mead. Works every time.
1 gal jug and airlock
Fill 3/4 full with 3 lbs honey and warm water mixture.
Add 10 raisins, 1 cinimmon stick, 1 clove, and 1 orange washed and cut into eights or thin slices rind and all. Add 1 teaspoon of bread yeast. Shake very well. Add airlock and put in dark place at about 68-70 degrees and forget about it.
In 6 - 8 weeks it should be clear and done. Siphon off the clear liquid into a clean bottle and enjoy.
Sure everyone will say:
Don't use bread yeast! You better boil it first. You better rack it before it finishes to get off of the lees or it will spoil! It will be cloudy! Don't put the rind of the orange in, only the juice and zest!
But I say hogwash! The proof is in the pudding! Works every time and is quite good for a first mead without all the equipment and it doesn't get much simpler for the beginner.

Do you not drink?

-no offense if you don't. In fact I am struggling with the concept of me being an alcoholic. I go to AA nearly every night in order to keep myself under control.
