14.0% Alcohol/Vol.

This is a VQA wine

My LCBO vintage book list this wine as Gamay Reserve 2002.
The LCBO listing on the computer lists it as above ----2000.
And the bottle says 2002 on it.

Is the bottle I have 4 years old or just two? Confused.

The year on the bottle is the year in which the grapes were harvested.
Vintners then hold the wine for aging for various lengths of time - the
release date is the when the wine is made available to distributors and thus
retailers soon after.

Based on the vintage date on the label, the grapes
were picked in 2000, made into wine, bottled and then
released on 21 Sept 2002. Sounds about right for a red
wine. It's three vintages old.
