Body

Body describes how light or full wine feels in your mouth.

How it works

Take a sip and notice its weight on your tongue. Does it feel light and slender, or does it fill your mouth more? Body refers to that sensation, not how strongly the wine smells.

How to use this when choosing

Light, medium-bodied and full-bodied are useful comparisons. Fuller does not mean better: choose the weight you feel like drinking.
