The vintage factors into why certain wines rise in price while others remain at typical market value. Grapes from exceptional vintages have exceptional qualities, where everything comes together in harmony to create an exquisite wine. Off years, where the grapes didn't grow as well due to factors like rain, sunshine, temperature or soil conditions, might result in a vintage that isn't as precious. These wines are more likely to grace the dinner table than remain in wine cellars while aging to perfection.

Another cause of rarity or higher price begins at the winery. If the winery only produces 300 bottles of a wine, for example, it starts out rarer than one with 4,000 bottles, and will often be more expensive as a consequence.

Fine wines also become more expensive with age, typically because older wines are unique and require decades of aging to reach such complexity. Of course, the storage of the wine plays a significant role in the quality, with verifiable provenance sometimes making the difference between a wine that's worth $2,000 and one that's worth $20,000 or more.

There are also some wines that aren't fit for consumption but that are still worth collecting for the age and name alone. Some older wines fit the less common category of being both old and drinkable – a true delight for those who decide to pop the cork.
