The few meads I've made have either been a wine glass (the one still show mead I made) or a pint glass (for the couple sparkling short meads I've made). I finally picked up a horn myself, so if I ever make another regular mead I may do that. I mainly bought it for show and don't intend to use it regularly, but same thing for my old German stein, which I don't use outside of a few pints of Märzen for Octoberfest each year.
