Is the vintage important when buying wine?  Let's start by explaining what vintage really means.  It actually refers to the physical process of picking the grapes and making the wine, AND the year that the wine was produced.

When wine experts talk about wine, they include climate, the winemaking process, and the vineyard itself. 

Bottom line... if a wine bottle doens't have a vintage referenced on the bottle, it's probably inferior to one that does.  Does that mean it's "bad" wine?  NO!  Many table wines in the US are non-vintaged.  You can enjoy them just as much (at a better price) than their vintaged counterparts.
