This article indicates it is made from ground ginger, which implies dried. Yet it is called Stone's Green Ginger Wine, and green ginger means fresh, undried ginger. Is this article mistaken in saying it is made from ground ginger or is the name of the product deceptive? I think it's just a case that the name of the product is deeply deceptive; an appellation from a time when Trades Descriptions legislation was less than exhaustive!

- Er, "Green Ginger Wine" is a product name, it's not necessarily related to the product's production process. It might refer to the color of the product or to how it was made in years gone buy. For example, it's perfectly OK to call something Old Oak Cider if it was traditionally made in oak barrels, regardless of the fact that the modern product might never have been near an oak barrel during production. Deception is a very strong word and it's best to use it sparingly on Wikipedia. - perfectblue (talk) 18:20, 26 December 2007 (UTC)
- This whole article reeks of product advertisement. Is there a way to move the article more toward the history of ginger wine and away from one product? --Skinnedmink (talk) 02:49, 19 February 2010 (UTC)
- Why was the Revision of 13:12, 16 July 2010 reverted as vandalism? It seemed to clear up a lot of the company marketing nonsense. Doctorjames (talk) 22:59, 10 August 2010 (UTC)
- This article is horrible, it's just a load of marketing spiel. It implies that there is only one brand of Green Ginger wine, which is not true (I know of at least one other brand, Crabbie's Green Ginger Wine, a competitor to Stones). Doctorjames edits were not vandalism, they were just removing the marketing and sales material which should not be in a wikipedia article Andymill (talk) 13.25, 3 December 2010 (UTC)
- I created the [article] on ginger wine in the German project and tried to be as neutral as possible. --GeoTrinity (talk) 03:53, 6 March 2016 (UTC)

Yulade[edit]
Never heard of this. It's certainly not a common term in the UK. Is this an American thing? There are no proper refs. --Ef80 (talk) 22:27, 8 January 2021 (UTC)
