Folks in the Raleigh, NC area: Starrlight Meadery in Pittsboro is happy to give away tasting room empties. I picked up 6 cases this evening, and they had more. I got a mixture of blue, green, and brown bottles, all Bordeaux style.
The labels peel when soaked in very hot water. I've had to hit the bottles with Goo Gone to remove residual glue, but it's not too bad. I'll probably process all 6 cases over a 2 day period.
Tastings are $10 USD for 8 wines, and they have a wide variety of meads. I purchased a bottle of Nordic Blend, an off-dry mead flavored with caraway, fennel, and anise seed.
