Comet vintages

Comet vintages are years during which an astronomical event, involving generally a "Great Comet", occurs prior to harvest. Throughout the history of wine, winemakers have attributed successful vintages and ideal weather conditions to the unexplained effects caused by the comets.〔 ''The New York Times'' archives (August 13, 1872). (The Comet ) 〕 Some of the most heralded vintages in the last couple of centuries—such as the 1811, 1826, 1839, 1845, 1852, 1858, 1861, 1985 & 1989 vintages—have coincided with a notable appearance of a comet.〔 G. Harding ''"A Wine Miscellany"'' pg 45–47, Clarkson Potter Publishing, New York 2005 ISBN 0-307-34635-8 〕 The term "comet wine" is sometimes used in the wine world to describe a wine of exceptional quality in reference to the high reputation that comet vintages have.〔 Brewer's Dictionary ''"(Comet wine )"'' Accessed: December 20th, 2008 〕 The 1811 comet vintage, coinciding with the appearance of the Great Comet of 1811, is perhaps the most famous. The 1811 Château d'Yquem has exhibited what wine experts like Robert Parker have described as exceptional longevity with Parker scoring the wine a perfect 100 points when tasted in 1996. The 1811 vintage of Veuve Clicquot is theorized to have been the first truly "modern" Champagne due to the advancements in the ''méthode champenoise'' which Veuve Clicquot pioneered through the technique of ''remuage''.〔〔 Johnson, Hugh (1989) ''Vintage: The Story of Wine''. Simon and Schuster. pp. 337. ISBN 0-671-68702-6 〕
==Effects of the comets==
There is no accepted viticultural impact of comets on grapevines, and there have been many successful vintages throughout the world in years where there were no noticeable comet sightings.〔 Over centuries a great number of events and phenomena have been attributed to the appearances of comets in the sky—such as devastating earthquakes, a 1668 epidemic among cats in Westphalia, or an increase in the birth of twins in a particular area. While many of the phenomena associated with comets tend to be negative, the association of comets and wine has almost always been held as beneficial by viticulturists and oenologists.〔 ''The New York Times'' archives (July 19, 1874). (The Spectre of the Skies ) 〕
