Imperial Wine and Spirits Ltd
Quality Products Since 1691
Imperial Wine and Spirits began it's life as somewhat of an accident. In the year 1687, Crown Prince Valerian, son of reigning monarch Emperor Alexander III, left with the research vessel Discovery on a trip around the world, hoping to both further his education and potentially conquer new lands for the Empire he would one day inherit. Five years later, he returned with a considerable amount of territory, and a new discovery: grapes. Having stopped in Paralentum during a mission to the Imperium Doomanum, the ever-adventurous Valerian is said to have wandered into the nearest town and purchased several skins of wine, a drink not native to Prestonia. Intrigued, he set off for the vineyards, to attempt to discover the secret behind his new favorite beverage. From a hilltop, his soldiers watched the fermenting process in secret for several days, making intricate diagrams along the way. On the eighth day, Valerian ventured down to the estate, where he paid the master 5,000 denarii (a sum equal to roughly fifty million Prestonian dollars today) for five vines of grapes, one of each variety the estate had.
Upon returning home in 1691, Valerian showed his diagrams to his father, along with the new "happy fruit" he had discovered. Alexander, being a man set in his ways, was not impressed, and initially refused to allow this fruit to be planted in his tobacco fields. After some wrangling, he eventually relented, and allowed it to be planted in the far corner of the plantation. The drink soon became a hit, and by the time Valerian I ascended the throne in 1708 the beverage was a regular staple of Royal banquets.
In 1733, the vineyard went public, selling it's wares under the moniker Imperial Vineyards. By this time, the market had expanded, though Imperial was still the leading producer. In 1789 the vineyard purchased rival St. Andrews Fine Spirits, and changed it's corporate name to the present-day Imperial Wine and Spirits.
In 1991, to celebrate it's 300th birthday, Imperial purchased beer powerhouse Westminster Breweries, cementing it's monopoly on the alcohol market in Prestonia. In 2010, under the guidance of Steven Preston, Imperial launched it's website, www.imperialwinespirits.cp and began selling to a worldwide market.
