The origins of Stone's Ginger Wine the UK's favourite ginger wine are well documented.
The drink's roots go back to 1740 and the foundation of a company called The Finsbury
Distilling Company in the City of London.
The drinks business was booming and distilleries were flourishing across London.
This was the era of Hogarth's 'Gin Lane' and the widespread drunkenness in parts
of London was becoming cause for concern, with the result that, in 1751, an Excise
Act was passed, prohibiting distillers from selling direct to the public.
