How does it compare in alcohol content with beer or wine?

Beer = 4-6% usually
Wine = 12-14% usually
Champagne = 16-20% usually

"Standard" mead recipes usually use wine yeasts and come in at 12-14%. Some people use champagne yeasts to make a stronger mead. It all depends on what yeast you use and how much honey you add.

Thanks! I'm a non-drinker but was curious.
