Talk:Ginger wine

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

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! Rich42uk 13:27, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

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)
