What is vintage?

Source
The word "Vintage" is bandied about regularly and has a certain "hip" quality to it.  These days, everyone loves "vintage" so we set out to find out what exactly the word means.

If you look the word up in the Oxford Dictionary, it says: "Adjective: Denoting something from the past of high quality, especially something representing the best of its kind."

If you Google the meaning, there are all sorts of opinions varying from "anything older than 20 years" to  "previously-owned items, that with age, look better and maintain style".

It seems that wherever you choose to look up the word, there is one common thread; Good Quality
