Body

Beginner Tasting & Sensory

定義

The weight and fullness of wine on the palate.

詳しく

Body is primarily determined by alcohol content, residual sugar, and glycerol. Full-bodied wines (Cabernet Sauvignon, oaked Chardonnay) feel heavy and viscous. Light-bodied wines (Pinot Grigio, Beaujolais) feel delicate and refreshing. Medium-bodied wines bridge the gap. A useful analogy: skim milk (light), whole milk (medium), cream (full).
