The Vintagers, after a Miniature of the "Dialogues de Saint Gregoire" (Thirteenth Century).--Manuscript of the Royal Library of Brussels. Vintage is a term used in wine-making and refers to the process of picking the grapes and creating the finished product.
A vintage wine is one whose grapes were all grown in a single specified year, although common incorrect usage applies the term to any wine that is perceived to be particularly old or of a particularly high quality.
When referred to vehicles, the definition of vintage varies according to usage. Some apply the term to any car built between 1919 and 1930, and others apply the term to any vehicle older than 25 years of age.
