I've was introduced to wine about 5 years ago, and like every thing else I take an interest in, I read everything I can find on the subject (OCD has it's up side) and try it all. Most recently I've been exploring Burgundy, red & white (two new sets of glasses ;D) and there american counter parts pinot noir & chardonnay.
The peanut butter dessert mead I have, thats finishing now, I'd been thinking since it's so sweet (10 bix) with an ABV of 22.5% it would be best served in a grappa type glass. but what I've learned is that it really needs to breath for the aroma and flavor of hte peanuts to come out. So a dessert wine glass may be a better choice if you wanted the peanut butter to be up front. But then again with a grappa style glass, the aroma is be subdued and the flavor kicks in about mid way through.
so in as much as Mead is fermented honey, the glass it's served in still plays a major roll.
