Vintage: Indicates the year in which the grapes were grown. For vintage dated wines made in the United States, 95 percent of a wine must come from grapes that were grown and picked in the stated calendar year. In the southern hemisphere where the grapes may grow in the year preceeding a February through March harvest, the vintage date refers to the year of harvest. Also refers to the time of year in which the harvest takes place.

年份：一般指葡萄生长的年份。在美国，标有年份的葡萄酒中，95%的葡萄酒必须来自当年生长和采收的葡萄。在南半球，葡萄在年前就开始生长了，2到3月开始采收，酒标上标示的年份指定是采收的年份。所以，年份一词也用于指葡萄采收的时间。
