Vintage (n.)
  • mid-15c., "harvest of grapes, yield of wine from a vineyard" from Anglo-French vintage (mid-14c.),
  • from Old French vendage "yield from a vineyard",
  • from Latin vindemia "a gathering of grapes, yield of grapes",
  • from comb. form of vinum "wine" + stem of demere "take off" (from de- "from, away from" + emere "to take").
Sense shifted to "age or year of a particular wine" (1746), then to a general adjectival sense of "being of an earlier time" (1883).
