Body - Light, Medium or Full?
Body – Light to Full
The body of a wine refers to how it feels in your mouth—light, medium, or full.
-
Light-bodied wines feel delicate and refreshing, great as aperitifs but can be overpowered by strong dishes.
Examples: Pinot Noir -
Full-bodied wines are rich, intense, and often higher in alcohol. They coat the palate and pair well with bold, flavourful meals.
Examples: Cabernet Sauvignon reds
Sweetness – Dry to Sweet
Sweetness is about the sugar content in the wine.
-
Dry wines have little to no sweetness.
-
Medium wines have a hint of sweetness.
-
Sweet wines (often called dessert wines) are noticeably sugary and pair well with desserts or salty cheeses.

What Are Tannins?
Tannins are naturally occurring polyphenols found in many plants, including grapes. In winemaking, they are primarily located in the skins, seeds, and stems of the grape and serve as a natural defense against animals and insects. Tannins can also be introduced to wine through aging in wooden barrels, contributing to the wine’s complexity and structure. Beyond wine, tannins are present in a variety of foods and beverages such as tea, dark chocolate, coffee, and some nuts.
What Do Tannins Taste and Feel Like?
Tannins are experienced more through texture and sensation than taste. They often create a drying or puckering feeling in the mouth, similar to drinking strong black tea or biting into an unripe fruit. This astringent sensation varies in intensity, depending on the type and concentration of tannins. In wine, tannins can range from soft and silky to firm and coarse, playing a key role in mouthfeel, balance, and aging potential.

Flavours vary depending on the grapes, region, and production method.
Popular styles include:
-
Champagne (France)
-
Cava (Spain)
-
Prosecco (Italy)
Each offers its own unique twist on the sparkle.
