Manisha Thakuri Satdobato, Lalitpur In Europe, South America, Australia, and South Africa, there are many wines that are made with grapes from vines that are over 100 years old. You will sometimes see on French wine labels the term Vieilles Vignes (�old vines�). In California, many Zinfandels are made from vines that are more than 75 years old. Many wine tasters believe that these old vines create a different complexity and taste than the younger vines. In many countries, grapes from vines three years old or younger than that cannot be made into a winery�s top wine. People say colors of different wines explain different characteristics? Would you please elaborate?
