A Christmas Mead from Billund
Dansk Mjod brews its meads in Billund, Denmark, working from recipes dated to about the year 1700 and bringing, in the producer's words, our forefathers' old traditions into the modern world. Jule Mjod is the house's bottle for the season — “Jule” is Danish for Christmas — and the producer serves it as a smooth dessert wine that complements many Christmas traditions.

Flavor and Serving — Warm or Chilled
The honey, apple and a hint of cinnamon that go into brewing Jule Mjod give it what the producer calls a deliciously warm, spicy flavour — honey first, baked apple behind it, and cinnamon warmth on the finish, with ginger in the mix on the US bottling. Pour it chilled as a dessert wine next to Christmas baking, or warm it gently (never to a boil) and serve it mug-style like a Danish glogg for the coldest nights of the year. If you want a year-round apple mead from the same house, try Dansk Mjod Ribe Mjod, and find more after-dinner pours in our dessert wine collection.
