“Vintage” is a middle English term that derives from the French word “Vendage”, “The harvest of grapes”. The sense shifted in the mid 18th Century to mean the age or year of a particular wine. It wasn’t until the late 19th century that “Vintage” began to be used when describing something as “From another time”. It was at this point that objects other than wine, such as furniture, toys, cars & clothes, were beginning to be referred to as vintage.
