The world’s first botanically fermented lemonades and tonics made by Fentimans became a part of Liviko’s portfolio in 2016. In 1905, Thomas Fentiman, an iron puddler from Cleckheaton, England, was approached by a fellow tradesman for a loan. A deal was struck and a recipe for botanically brewed ginger beer was provided as security. The loan was never repaid so Thomas Fentimans became the owner of the recipe. Made according to a unique recipe for natural fermentation, this drink quickly became popular, the family business expanded and several production facilities were set up to meet the growing demand. The more than a century old company and its modernised recipes still belong to the Fentimans family.

The history of Hardys Wines begins with Thomas Hardy, born in Devon, England, who arrived in Australia in 1850 to try his fortune. With 30 pounds in his pocket, he started work on Reynella farm. Three years later, Thomas Hardy bought a small estate on the banks of the River Torrens near Adelaide, and established Hardys Wines.
In 1887, Thomas Hardy included his sons in the family business, which then became known as Thomas Hardy & Sons. By then, the family of wine merchants also owned a number of estates in other Australian wine regions. By the turn of the century, the family-owned Thomas Hardy & Sons had become the largest winemaker in South Australia. After more than 160 years since Hardys Wines was established, the fifth generation at the helm of the world-famous winery, William “Bill” Hardy, is continuing the family traditions and combining them with the modern world of wine.

In 1866, the king also bought the first vineyard for the manor near the village of Barolo; the harvest from this vineyard was used to make a wine called Tenimenti di Barolo or Fontanafredda. In 1878, the estate was inherited by Count Emanuele Alberto di Mirafiori, the son of King Vittorio Emanuele II and Rosa Vercellana. The Count bought another 300 hectares of land for the estate, and the Fontanafredda wine business expanded successfully. Unfortunately, the venture dwindled in the 20th century during the Great Depression, and in 1931, the oldest bank in Italy, Monte dei Paschi di Siena, purchased the struggling estate. In 2008, Oscar Farinetti, a visionary Piedmontese businessman, became the new owner of the estate, giving the wine business a new lease of life. In 2017, Fontanafredda received the outstanding recognition of “European Winery of the Year” from the leading European wine magazine, Wine Enthusiast.
