Non-Vintage

Wine Definition

A wine that is made without a majority of grapes coming from a single year. The required percentage for this majority varies in each country and appellation. California, for example, requires that wines carrying a vintage on the label must be made with at least 95% of the grapes coming from that year; wines with less than the 95% coming from that year must be labeled non-vintage.
