Are there rules to knowing which vintages are better for specific wine regions?
The characteristics of a particular vintage are determined by the quality of that years grape crop. Improvements in wine making over the years have made vintage year less central to choosing a wine produced in most wine regions. Vintages are more important when collecting more expensive wines, especially those designed to be aged, and in growing regions where a less than satisfactory growing season is not compensated for using innovative wine making technology or practices.
