I thought it would be interesting to do a vertical tasting of 5 different meads. So I lined up the 5 bottles...it wasn't blind, just a "get to know mead" tasting for a few friends.

Here's the interesting part:

3 of the 5 bottles were old bottles i had put the SAME home-made JAOM into!

It was amazing to watch how everyone debated the different merits of the EXACT same mead. Declaring one a favorite over the other.

I'm curious to have that done to me to see if I would also get influenced by the labels.. In the end it was a very educational experience about how people choose what they like to drink and showed me the incredible influence marketing has on people.

Nope. All in the same place. And all bought the same day. With the exception of my own which was not bought.

I should note that everyone had a few drinks in them already but that no one was anything more than buzzed.

I read an article somewhere that a way to get people to like your wine better is to pour it from an expensive looking bottle. Can't remember where I saw it though. It was about commercialy produced wines, not homemade ones though.

There was an interesting nugget on mead marketing a few months back here. http://www.gotmead.com/forum/showthread.php?t=21423&page=2 Luckily I posted in it so it was easy to dig up. Its a pretty deep 16 posts so get your glasses out.
