Stone’s Original Green Ginger Wine Review

Posted on by

I love ginger wine. I specifically asked to review Stone’s Ginger Wine Special Reserve last year, and this is just as good. Stone’s Original Green Ginger Wine has been a favourite in England since 1740. It is made with grated ginger and middle-eastern raisins. In the 19th century they used it as an aphrodisiac and treatment for cholera.

This wine is on the right side of sweet. Depending on your tastes the ginger can be hot. Which makes this the prefect drink for cocktails. This is also quite strong for a wine. It tastes great with coke too.

If you do drink it on it’s own it doesn’t have a horrible aftertaste. All in all, this is a very pleasurable wine that is perfect for a summers day and barbecues. It tastes divine and is a good alternative to other summer drinks.

Banrock Station Shiraz Rosé

 The complaint I have from people who don’t like Rosé is that it is too sweet. This Rosé solves that problem. It is good, refreshing and crisp Rosé . Although it has a touch of sweetness it is not overbearing. It’s a good bright colour too.
This Rosé has delicious flavours of strawberry and cherry. It has a lot of flavour and is sparkling. Top Notch.

Stone’s Ginger Wine Special Reserve is a blend of the finest quality raisins and pure ground ginger which produces a delicious, mellow warming flavour that pairs perfectly with Christmas pudding and mince pies.
 
 Stone’s Ginger Wine is not for lightweights. It is 18%, but it really is beautiful. A delicious, full-bodied ginger wine. It’s strong, a bit like a brandy. You can feel it going down. It tastes delicious alone or as a cocktail ingredient. One of my friends I tried it out on now drinks it with cola. It would also be brilliant as an ingredient in a hot toddy.

It tastes expensive but it is reasonably priced. Try it, it is one of my favourite wines. Good quality and original. Perfect for winter as it’s warming and perfect for Christmas too.
