Hi Guys-
I've got a huge 21% melomel I'll be giving away as gifts this year or the next. It's crystal clear and has a great color, so I'd like to give it away in clear bottles if possible, but at 21%, I'd prefer to give away 375mL bottles so people at least have a chance of finishing a bottle they open. Beer bottles would work, but I think some 375mL Icewine/Bellissima bottles would be best, especially if they were clear. Problem is, they are so darned expensive, to buy and to ship. I'd need around 48 bottles, and it's a pretty uncommon size so all my local restaurant go-to's haven't had any.
Any ideas?
