vintage wine
Prized aged bottle
Vintage wine is wine from a single year's grape harvest, with the year typically printed on the label.
The term implies quality and aging potential, distinguishing wines meant to improve over time from everyday table wines.
The 1982 Bordeaux is considered an exceptional vintage.
A wine's vintage indicates not just its age but the specific growing conditions of that year.
