Vintage, in winemaking, is the process of picking grapes and creating the finished product (see Harvest (wine)). A vintage wine
is one made from grapes that were all, or primarily, grown and
harvested in a single specified year. In certain wines, it can denote
quality, as in Port wine,
where Port houses make and declare vintage Port in their best years.
From this tradition, a common, though incorrect, usage applies the term
to any wine that is perceived to be particularly old or of a
particularly high quality.
Most countries allow a vintage wine to include a portion of wine that
is not from the year denoted on the label. In Chile and South Africa,
the requirement is 75% same-year content for vintage-dated wine.[1][2] In Australia, New Zealand, and the member states of the European Union, the requirement is 85%.[3][4][5] In the United States, the requirement is 85%, unless the wine is designated with an AVA,
(e.g., Napa Valley), in which case it is 95%. Technically, the 85% rule
in the United States applies equally to imports, but there are obvious
difficulties in enforcing the regulation.[6]
The opposite of a vintage wine is a nonvintage wine (often
seen on a wine list as NV), which is usually a blend from the produce of
two or more years. This is a common practice for winemakers seeking a
consistent style of wine, year on year.
