Stone's Original Green Ginger Wine is well known for its distinctive flavour and traditional recipe. Many years of imaginative and colourful advertising have also made it a household name in not only Britain and latterly Australia, but also the Caribbean and many other countries worldwide.
The Brand name itself dates from the mid-nineteenth century, when the wine was sold by Joseph Stone, a London grocer - one of the earliest examples of 'own label' retailing. The green ginger wine, however, is much older, manufactured according to recipes handed down from generation to generation.
