Vintage Lace

Vintage

In winemaking, vintage is the process of picking grapes to create wine. A vintage wine is one made from grapes that were all, or primarily, grown and harvested in a single specified year. In certain wines, it can denote quality, as in Port wine, where Port houses make and declare vintage Port in their best years. From this tradition, a common, though not strictly correct, usage applies the term to any wine that is perceived to be particularly old or of a particularly high quality.

Lace

Lace is a decorative openwork textile made without the use of pre-existing fabric. Lace can be made by hand or machine. Various techniques can be employed to form lace, each having a distinct category. Lace can also be used to refer to other types of openwork fabric such as cutwork or filet, which use pre-existing fabric.
