vintage is just the age of the wine.
all wines sold in the u.s are required to have the vintage on the label, usually the older the vintage the more $$ your going to shell out.
Now when you open the bottle of wine and take the cork out and it makes a popping sound, you bruised it, meaning all the pressure pushed out. Your cork shouldnt break unless it has been previously opened numerous times.
A vintage wine ensures all the grapes in the wine are from a particular year’s harvest. That’s it. Non-vintage wines can be a mixture of different-aged wines to produce a desired flavor, but more often denote a wine made from the dregs of other bottlings.
If the cork falls in the wine, drink it within a day. While the wine-side of the cork has been kept free of mold and bacteria, the air-side has not.
If the wine tastes bad, take it back or throw it out.

I think vintage wines are more expensive.
