Here's A Glossary Of Red Wine Terms You Should Be Familiar With

Astringency

It's a sophisticated term for the drying, gritty, and abrasive sensation of wine leaves in your mouth, making it puckery. When a wine is described as "smooth," it typically indicates it has a low level of astringency.



Acidity

Simply described, it refers to a wine's level of freshness, tartness, and sourness. If the acidity is too high, the wine will be overly sour, and if it is too low, the wine will be flat and flabby.

Tannin

Tannins are naturally occurring, complex chemical components found in grape skins, seeds, and stems in wine, as well as a variety of other organic materials found in the environment such as wood and leaves. Tannins are water-soluble polyphenols that give bitterness and astringency to wines, balancing their sweetness and adding depth to the tasting experience.

Bodied

The term "body" refers to the wine's mouthfeel or weight in your tongue. The alcohol concentration, the depth of the wine's colour, and the density of the coating it leaves behind in your tongue when you take a sip are all factors that go into determining how "bodied" a wine is.

Low alcohol, brilliant, light & delicate, fruity & fragrant, light-bodied. It's simple to make and goes nicely with light, lean foods like salmon or chicken.

Full-Bodied - Dark, rich, and full of complex, intense flavours and a strong scent. It's designed to be drunk slowly and coupled with heavy foods like red meat and mushrooms.

Medium-Bodied - A wine that falls between light-bodied reds and robust full-bodied reds. This category includes a wide range of wines that can be combined with a wide range of dishes.

Viscosity

Wine with a high viscosity is thick and syrupy, whereas wine with a low viscosity is watery. Factors like sugar and alcohol content have an impact on this wine ingredient.
