et kull

Do you use that word only for children or students, or could/would you use it as well for e.g. magazines or wine?

"Kull" is only used for people and animals.

For magazines and wine etc. there is the word "en årgang".

Thanks.

Is årgang the generell term I can use for people and animals as well? Or can I use it for everything but animals and people?

You can jokingly say "jeg er av 1993-årgang" but that is with the intention of sounding like you're a type of wine or car.
