Full flavour in wine is often referred to as BODY. BODY is a term used to describe the texture and weight of a wine on the palate. It is determined by the amount of alcohol, tannins, and glycerol present in the wine. The higher the alcohol content, the fuller the BODY of the wine. Tannins give the wine structure and complexity, while glycerol adds a smooth, velvety texture. Wines with full BODY are often described as having a rich, robust flavour.
