Vintage Charts

It’s a fact; some years are just better than others for wine. It generally always has to do with the weather. That’s where vintage charts can help. A vintage chart for a specific country or wine region reveals the quality of each year and how good that year was for its wines. Usually on a scale from 1-10, 1 being the worst and 10 the best, it makes sense to purchase wines from a better vintage, especially for aging purposes. In a better vintage, grapes are more concentrated and structured because of good weather and the resulting wines superior. These charts are available through many sources but the easiest way is on your computer. Simply Google “vintage chart” for any of your favourite wine regions. Cheers!
