Good question. I always thought that it's the year when you crush and start the fermentation.
Botteling date. Thats the only date I go by. I keep seperate records of everything else. I assume winerys only put the year it was bottled on their labels. Not harvest or start date.
Legally you are alowed to make 100 -200 galeons of wine a year. It does not count as wine untill it gets bottled. So the bottleing date is the only leagal date that matters.
My interpetaion is if you drink it defore it gets bottled it does not count twords your 100-200 galeons a year

I would like to know where you found about that it has to be bottled to count as the 100-200 gallons per year ?
I could only find where they talk about 100-200 gallons a year per household only.

I was wondering the same thing. This is the same question I have always wondered and have never been able to find an exact answer. You have made wine as soon as the yeast has completed their job. but is the 200 gallons counted as fermented or bottled?
