In the song When Johnny Comes Marching Home, a part of the lyrics are
In eighteen hundred and sixty-one
Hurrah! Hurrah!
That was when the war begun,
Hurrah! Hurrah!
In eighteen hundred and sixty-two,
Both sides were falling to,
And we'll all drink stone wine,
When Johnny comes marching home.
And we'll all drink stone wine,
When Johnny comes marching home.
In these Lyrics, what does "stone wine" mean? They will all drink "stone wine". Does anyone know what stone wine is? I am confused at this. Thanks!

About 1/2 way down on page.
I like :Made from stone fruits such as peaches, apricots & plums
and : Dropping hot stones into the drinking vessel. Another term for mulled wine.
