Dear ASp: Sixty years ago I would have accepted handyman job at "nummary"

In reply to:
vintage (to take from vinum, grapes).
Today's word and the description of related words is very informative, but I don't see how "vintage" is related to "emptor." Can anyone help?
vintage variant of vendage from Old French, from Latin vindemia, grape gathering: vinum, wine :de-, off + emere, to take.
