Origin: "Weinstein" (German) is a German word that can be directly translated as "Winestone." Early Weinsteins were probably wine makers, as Weinstein refers to tiny edible stones found in grape wine, which form naturally during the wine making process. In this process, minerals crystalize forming the "stones." The presence of stones indicate that the wine has aged well and will taste excellent. They are also sometimes called "diamonds" by wine professionals.
