Old vine
Category of wine / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Old vine (French: vieilles vignes, German: alte Reben), a common description on wine labels, indicates that a wine is the product of grape vines that are notably old. There is a general belief that older vines, when properly handled, will give a better wine.[1] There is no legal or generally agreed definition for old.
