e-Vintage Inspiring Quotes (by Angela V. Miranda): Brazil; "Too old to be considered modern, but not old enough to be considered antique!" VINTAGE is a word that can have several meanings. Its primary definition is of old, recognized and enduring interest, importance or quality. It can be used as a noun or as an adjective, and is usually associated with the quality of aging, enduring or improving over time. The word vintage is a combination of the Latin of vinum, or "wine," and demere, or "to take off." A vintage was originally the yield of a season's harvest at a vineyard. A bottle of wine's vintage is the year in which the grapes that produced it were originally harvested. In the 19th century, vintage began to be used to signify in general something being old-fashioned, classical, or from another time. In this way, objects other than wine began to be referred to as "vintage", including furniture, books, cars, clothing etc. In most contexts, vintage is generally used as a euphemism for "old" or "old-fashioned." However, in antiquing, an object is considered vintage if it was manufactured between 1830 and 1930. In car collecting, a "vintage car" is one made between 1919 and 1930.
