wine stone

I know the general meaning of "wine stone", but put into the following context
makes me feel stupid:
- Are you an escargot man, old man?
- I`ve had them. Acquired taste. Interesting.
- Basque recipe. Kill any decent WINE STONE dead, I said, but Moira says it´s not plastered with all thatgarlic muck, so it shouldn´t be too bad.

"Stone" doesn't go with "wine", it goes with "dead". Here it's a colloquial adverb meaning absolutely, completely, utterly. "Stone dead" is a frase hecha.
