Most countries allow a vintage wine to include a portion of wine that is not from the year denoted on the label. In Chile and South Africa, the requirement is 75% same-year content for vintage-dated wine.[1][2] In Australia, New Zealand, and the member states of the European Union, the requirement is 85%.[3][4][5] In the United States, the requirement is 85%, unless the wine is designated with an AVA, (e.g., Napa Valley), in which case it is 95%. Technically, the 85% rule in the United States applies equally to imports, but there are difficulties in enforcing the regulation.[6]
The opposite of a vintage wine is a nonvintage wine (often seen on a wine list as 'NV'), which is usually a blend from the produce of two or more years. This is a common practice for winemakers seeking a consistent style of wine, year on year.
For wine produced in regions at the colder climatic limits of wine production, vintage can be very important, because some seasons will be much warmer and produce riper grapes and better wine. On the other hand, a poor growing season can lead to grapes failing to reach optimal ripeness, resulting in grape juice that is higher in acid and lower in sugar, which affects the quality of the resulting wine.[9]
In many wine regions, especially in the New World, growing seasons are much more uniform. In dry regions, the systematic and controlled use of irrigation also contributes to uniform vintages. However, such wines are regularly labeled by vintage because of consumer demand.
Wines of superior vintages from prestigious producers and regions will often command much higher prices than those from average vintages. This is especially the case if wines are likely to improve further with some age in the bottle. Some wines are only labeled with a vintage in better-than-average years, to maintain their quality and reputation, while the vast majority of wines are produced to be drunk young and fresh. In such cases, a vintage is usually considered less important. However, it can serve to protect consumers against buying a wine that would not be expected to improve with age and could be past its best, such as with Beaujolais nouveau, a wine style made to be consumed within months of its bottling.
The importance of vintage may sometimes be exaggerated. For example, New York Times wine columnist Frank J. Prial declared the vintage chart to be dead, writing that "winemakers of the world have rendered the vintage chart obsolete"; Bill Marsano wrote that "winemakers now have the technology and skills to make good and even very good wines in undistinguished years". James Laube of Wine Spectator has asserted that "even an average vintage can yield some grand wines".
Roman Weil, co-chairman of the Oenonomy Society of the US and professor at the University of Chicago, tested the controversial hypothesis that experienced wine drinkers "cannot distinguish in blind tastings the wine of years rated high from those of years rated low, or, if they can, they do not agree with the vintage chart's preferences".
Weil used wines ranging from four to 17 years beyond their vintage with 240 wine drinkers and found that the tasters could not distinguish between wines of good and bad vintages except for Bordeaux wines.[10] Even when they could make a distinction, the match between the tasters' individual assessments and the charts' rankings were little better than tossing a coin. When the tests were replicated with wine experts, including French wine academics, the results were again the same as chance.[10]
Weil does not consider a vintage chart to be useless. He suggests using one to help "find good buys in wine", as wine made in years considered to be worse than average for vintages may be priced far below its actual quality.[10]
Fashion is a fundamental part of culture, and human identity. To trivialise fashion through encouraging consumers to STOP buying clothing, limits the great ability of fashion to empower individuality.

The population and housing unit estimates are released on a flow basis throughout each year. Each new series of estimates (referred to as a "vintage") is revised annually beginning with the date of the most recent decennial census to incorporate the latest administrative record data, geographic boundaries, and methodology.
The vintage year (e.g., V2023) refers to the final year of the time series. The reference date for all estimates is July 1, unless otherwise specified. Products are released for each new vintage between December and June. During these months, pages will show a combination of products from both the new vintage and the previous year's vintage. As new products are released, they supersede the older vintage products. We recommend that the most recent vintage available is used whenever possible. However, data from separate vintages should not be combined. To access past vintages of data, please see the FTP2 site.
Additional estimates files for some historical vintages may also be accessed via the Census Bureau application programming interface (API). Current estimates are unable to be supported by the API at this time.
Hosted by the Vintage Aircraft Association, these informal and interactive sessions feature vintage aircraft owners, pilots, and aviation personalities sharing tales and tips alongside their antique, classic, or contemporary aircraft.
Type Club Area: Monday through Friday from noon to 5 p.m., representatives of many aircraft type clubs can answer questions about specific vintage aircraft, such as Aeroncas, Piper Cubs, Wacos, Bellancas, and many others.
Vintage Forums are sponsored by B & C Specialty Products: Monday through Friday at 8 a.m., 9 a.m., 10 a.m., and 11 a.m. Presenters share information about different types of vintage aircraft and their history. For more information about Vintage events at AirVenture, visit the Vintage Aircraft Association website.
The VAA Bookstore was created as a way to help raise funds for the Vintage Aircraft Association and give aviation enthusiast a way to share their book collections with others. We take donations throughout the year and re-sell the books at reasonable prices so that others can enjoy them.
An evening of food and fellowship awaits Vintage Aircraft Association members and their guests at the VAA Picnic, held on Wednesday evening during AirVenture immediately following the VAA Annual Membership Meeting at the Charles W. Harris Youth Aviation Center.
Tall Pines is operated by the EAA Vintage Aircraft Association and staffed entirely by Vintage Volunteers. This breakfast hot spot serves campers and guests on the south end of the convention grounds. A tram is available if you are coming from the north end of the field.
The Charles W. Harris Youth Aviation Center, set to debut at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2024 through the Vintage Aircraft Association, is poised to become a dynamic hub for the future generations of aviation enthusiasts. Youth will have the opportunity to participate in educational programs and workshops, while fostering connections with peers who share similar aviation interests. Equipped with air-conditioning and sound-proofing, the center will enrich the Vintage aircraft sector and play a pivotal role in shaping the education and experiences of the young individuals it serves.

Based on the hall algorithms of the late 1970s and early 1980s. Huge spatial image, echo density that can be adjusted from very sparse to very dense, and lush chorusing modulation. Fairly "clean" tone, without converter coloration.
This generates DEEP and WIDE reverbs, with a slow attack, and more diffusion than the late 1980s algorithms that inspired it. The modulation uses internal delay randomization, to reduce metallic artifacts without the pitch change that can occur in the algorithms with chorused modulation.
