That's interesting that the addition of fruit would do that. With the fruit wines I make they're drinkable in 6 months, but they can also age up to 4 years without suffering any damage. In fact, they taste better as they age, at least so far! I haven't tested anything older than 4 years though, because I don't like waiting that long. :)

As to the fruit blossom honey meads, if you mean they would be $40 a bottle, then that's too rich for my budget. :( Sounds delicious though, and I'm sure that people with the cash to spend would think it was worth it.
