In 1978, John Halewood created the company, selling Bulgarian wines from his garage, and launching his first product, Club Royal (sherry). In 1987, he purchased Hall & Bramley and Lamb and Watt, amalgamating their products into his existing portfolio. In 1990, he formed a joint venture in Romania just after the fall of the Berlin Wall and acquired Red Square Vodka in 1991, which he reconfigured into the new Ready to Drink market with Red Square Ice. In 1994, after witnessing the success of Lambrusco Italian wine he launched Lambrini sparkling perry which quickly became the company's largest selling product. Halewood purchased the ginger wine brand Crabbie's from Glenmorangie in 2002 and then created the alcoholic ginger beer in 2009. Subsequently, the company has built a whisky distillery in Edinburgh. In 2009, Halewood purchased Whitley Neill Gin from Johnny Neill; Neill was appointed as a Brand Ambassador. John Halewood passed away in October 2011.
