The Hine company is named after its proprietor Thomas Hine (sometimes recorded as Thomas Hone), an Englishman from Dorset, England. The company was founded in 1763.^[1] Following his arrest during the French Revolution, Thomas Hine married a young woman, Françoise Elisabeth Delamain, whose father owned a cognac house in Jarnac.^[2] Hine took the company to new heights, and eventually renamed it Thomas Hine & Co. in 1817.^[3]

The Hine House has stood at the banks of the quai de l’Orangerie on the banks of the river Charente in Jarnac, France since the 18th century.^[1] It is one of the oldest houses in Jarnac and serves as the company's headquarters. In 1962, the house was granted a royal warrant from Queen Elizabeth II, as suppliers of cognac.^[3] Today it is still the only cognac house to hold this honour.^[4] In 2008, one of the factories of the House was bought by Tigran Arzakantsyan, the owner of Armenian the Great Valley wine and cognac company. ^[5]
