Vintage

Once upon a time, there was a man named John who was a passionate collector of wines. He kept the vintage bottles in his cellar, and they were his pride and joy. Each bottle had a unique story to tell, and John loved to share them with others.

One day, while hosting a wine tasting event, John decided to challenge his guests by creating a crossword puzzle using wine-related clues. One of the clues was “Old-fashioned”, which he hoped would lead to the answer ‘Vintage‘.

As his guests worked on the puzzle, John noticed that many of them were struggling with that particular clue. He asked one of them, a young woman named Emma, if she knew what vintage meant.

Emma looked puzzled and admitted she didn’t. So, John took her down to his cellar to show her his collection. He explained that vintage referred to the year in which the grapes were harvested, and that it was an important factor in determining the quality and taste of the wine.

Emma was fascinated by the intricacies of wine-making, and she immediately understood John’s clue. She happily filled in the answer ‘YEAR‘ on the crossword, and John was grateful for the opportunity to share his knowledge and passion with her. From that day on, Emma became a frequent visitor to John’s cellar, and the two of them became great friends.
