Vegan substitute for mead in cooking

I'm trying to figure out how to Veganize my Rissoto recipe. The main stuff is easy veg broth instead of chicken vegan butter. The issue that I have is I used Mead (usually but not always an apricot flavored one) instead of a dry white wine. I (and the people that I share my rissotto with) really like the difference. I'm not sure what to replace the Mead with. I thought about trying an apricot brandy but am worried that will be too sweet.Also I don't have a ton of money (or extra time right now) to just keep trying stuff until I figure it out so I'm asking for any ideas.Not interested in making a vegan mead alternative myself I know that is technically an option. via /r/veganrecipes https://ift.tt/2QJcI5g
