These full bodied, often over-the-top wines, are mostly the product of the New World (California and Australia), but there are bold wines being produced in all winemaking regions. (...) Bold wines come from warm/hot climates, and therefore have plenty of sugar to convert to alcohol. The % alcohol for these wines can range from 13.5% to almost 17% alcohol! Examples of bold wines include American and Australian Cabernets and Cabernet blends, some Australian Shirazs, American Syrahs and a small fraction of American Zinfandels. http://wineenabler.com/wine-101-basics-tastings/wine-101-red... |

peer agreement (net): +6Full-bodied wine Explanation: When you talk about a wine's body, you are describing how thick or thin, how oily or watery it feels in your mouth. Your tongue and mouth can sense all sorts of textures. Think how a milkshake seems different than water, how a ginger ale seems different from cough syrup. All of these are liquids, but all have different bodies. When wine tasters say "light/thin body" they usually mean something very watery - like 1% or 2% milk. There's a bit of substance there - you're drinking wine, after all, not water - but it is very light. The next level is "medium body". This is more like regular milk. There's a bit of substance there, but it's not really thick, it's just tangible. Finally, for thick wines like port or sauternes, there is the "full body". This is more like cream, where there is really something swirling around in your mouth. Example sentence(s):
