How long can you keep open mead?

Open mead can typically be stored for about 1 to 3 months when kept in a cool, dark place and properly sealed. After opening, it's best to refrigerate it to maintain its flavor and quality. While mead has a long shelf life due to its alcohol content, exposure to air can lead to oxidation, which may affect its taste over time. Always check for any unusual odors or flavors before consuming.
