Two words about the competition

The interest in the production of mead in Poland and around the world is best demonstrated by the competition figures. In the home-made mead contest, there was 120 entries from 20 different countries. 100 meads from professional meaderys, representing another 20 countries, were also entered. It is worth to mention that meads were assessed by over 60 judges from Europe and the United States.

Upcoming revolution

220 meads were evaluated in the home and professional competition. I have no doubt that the trend we are observing across the ocean will also come to Europe, and in particular to Poland. It is very possible that we will soon witness a strong dynamism of development of this sector in our country.

The mead market

The potential for the growth of the mead market in Poland is huge and there are many indications that it will actually take place in the near future. In the previous edition of the competition 90 meads came to us, 60 of which were home-made. This year is a 100% increase (120) in the number of meads entered in the home contest and over 200% increase (100) in the processional competition, which makes us very happy.
