On aurait aussi bien pu les appeler «vins de laboratoire» ou «vins expérimentaux», mais l'expression «vins de garage», née sous la plume d'un journaliste du Wine Spectator fit florès. Il s'agit d'une nouvelle génération de vins, issus de micro-parcelles du Bordelais, qui atteignent des prix astronomiques.
