Thing to Do 57-See the All-time Greatest Films

Thing to Do 78-Drink a Vintage Wine

Thing to Do 78-Drink a Vintage Wine
Goal Accomplished? Yes
So what makes a wine vintage? According to Wikipedia...
Vintage, in wine-making, is the process of picking grapes and creating the finished product. 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 percent same-year content for vintage-dated wine. In Australia, New Zealand, and the member states of the European Union the requirement is 85 percent. In the United States the requirement is 85%...[with a few exceptions].
The opposite of a vintage wine is a nonvintage wine, 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.
