It all depends on the product category.
- The 1977 computer in my cellar is vintage, possibly antique.
- Recorded music media older than the year CDs first topped LPs in sales are vintage, even if they're early CDs.
- Recorded movies older than the first Bluray are vintage.
- Books from before the time when paperbacks started being routinely printed on acid-free paper are vintage, as are books adapted to screen at least twice.
- Vehicles from before fuel injection displaced carburetors are vintage.
- Furniture is vintage if it's handmade from solid wood, even if new. Particle board furniture is never vintage; it skips directly from new to junk. Veneer over real wood if it is sturdy enough that it has lasted a couple of generations.
- Appliances are vintage if they were built to be repairable.
