Apparently around 18% alcohol content is when the environment starts becoming toxic to yeast.
So, I guess big companies have other ways of increasing their alcohol content, boiling off and condensing things that aren't alcohol, or a yeast thats more durable?
I'd imagine the content is going to be around 15%~
Honestly, and i don't say this lightly. Reddit has a very nice mead & fermenting sub. You should go there, and start cross posting information to a dedicated fermenting sub here.

Very exciting. I'm thinking the alcohol content in these things is going to be very high. Maybe I'll make some danelion mead this spring.

That's pretty insane. Though I've never heard of a brew ever getting that high without added distillation.
