In 1982, the relevant departments issued the "Instructions on Further Improving Family Planning Work", the Falklands War broke out between the United Kingdom and Argentina, the largest cash theft in history occurred in New York, and The DPRK Mei Huixiang and Guan Yue Were born in Japan and Taiwan respectively. However, these things have nothing to do with Château Lafite.
However, because the weather in 1982 was somewhat special, the grapes in the Bordeaux region were too ripe and the fruit aroma was unusually strong, and experts believed that the wine of such grapes would have a short lifespan and would be difficult to mature and ferment in the bottle. Unexpectedly, the 82-year-old Lafite winery was favored by the goddess of luck, and the quality of the wine produced was not only not a problem, but also better than in the past 50 years.
