So really it's the same word as it is in those other languages (eg. vendage etc)... just spoken a little differently over time. Its funny that in english we've adopted the word for so many other meanings like age, year, antiques, etc! :) Anyway sounds like you're having a great time, have lots of fun!!

I have never heard that word used in that context, and vintage is a lovely word, full of romance and substance and also starting with the correct consonant. Thank you for sharing your wisdom and research and I stand corrected! English is not so bad after all and actually we english speakers do make excellent wines too. Drew, I do believe you are right!

Don't spoil the romance, Isabel! Did I say my neighbours should be winning awards for their wine-making? No, I said the wine is free. Did I say that I'll be trying to make my morangueira drinkable? You have to have something to cook the chanfana with! (goat & red wine stew, people, very typical of these parts) Ssshhhh! Don’t spoil the romance, Isabel!
