The Body of Wine, Wine Body and Wine Weight

Wine Body describes the texture or weight of a wine in the mouth. This comes from a combination of elements, including alcohol, extract, fruit, and acidity. Full-bodied wines have a rich, complex, well-rounded flavour that lingers in the mouth. Full-bodied red wines from Cyprus include Maratheftiko and Yiannoudi. On the opposite end of the spectrum are subtle, more watery, light-bodied Cypriot wines, such as Spourtiko and Morokanella. Medium-bodied wines fall somewhere in between and are commonly Rose Wines. Both white and red wines have full-bodied varieties. Dry white wines, particularly those aged either fully or partly in wood, tend to be more full-bodied. A number of Cyprus dessert wines such as Commandaria are considered full-bodied, partly because the residual sugar adds weight and texture. When thinking about what kind of wine to pair with dinner, remember that stronger, more robust flavours (dishes with rich cheeses, cream sauces, or heavy meats, for example) tend to be paired best with equally full-bodied wines.
