Down under in Australia in one of the southernmost states named Victoria, The Eltham and District Amateur Winemaker's guild is holding their 44th Annual Eltham Wineshow.
This year there is a marked increase of interest in meads, with a total of 25 entries. That's over 5% of a group with a strong grape following.
In an effort to promote mead further, we have been having tastings, and I am also making some Pyments.
The Wineshow is on the 17th Of November and there is a brochure here
The guild's website is www.amateurwine.org.au
Entry for participants is now closed, but if you have mead you'd like to enter, I could be able to twist the arm of the committee (as I'm on it) in an effort to boost the number of mead entries.
