I could be wrong, but I don't think a setting of those goblets are in the budget.Marmot

I like the glasses from Redstone, or a white wine glass.

Generally in a pint glass, sometimes from the wine bottle.Posted Image

I'm thinking this guy has it about right. :shock:Edit: I usually drink mine out of pint mason jars, but that's because they are all I have rather than because that's the right way to do it.

I am surprised by the pint glass. I assumed mead was properly served in a wine glass or thereabouts. Live and learn....Marmot

Honestly, I think how you serve it depends on the setting.If I'm serving it with dinner, I'm serving it in a white wine glass.If I'm drinking it in the evening to unwind, I'm drinking it out of a pint glass so I don't have to get up as often. :shock:

I tend to use a white wine glass if I have guests or people other than my wife and I. If it's just me... it's whatever I grab from the cabinet.

Yes, the 'proper' glass is a white wine glass.IMHO, these are also appropriate:Posted Image

I like it chilled, kegerator temps. My brewing buddy prefers the exact same meads at room temp, or just slightly chilled.

I use wine glasses, usually a chardonnay or sauvignon blanc glass.

Here you go…A 2000 year-old Roman beaker made from 656.3 grams of solid gold. Posted ImageOn the other hand, this 2000 year-old Parthian drinking horn (made from silver, gold, garnets and glass) might be even better.Posted ImageSadly, neither is available. :)
