Look at the legs on that!

And great body too!

It seems that the world of wine tasting is RIPE with innuendo (or is it just me?)
But there is one thing so commonly MISUNDERSTOOD that it has to be cleared up..
LEGS (as in, the transparent 'slick' left on the glass after you swirl it around) are NOT a sign of QUALITY! I have seen people drool over 'the legs' on a wine (usually men, it has to be said), but really all that this shows is the amount of ALCOHOL or SUGAR (or both) in the wine. Put simply, the thicker and more and more viscous the slick left behind, the higher the alcohol (or sugar) content.

The 'legs' on a 13.5% Shiraz. And an awesome Aussie blue sky.

After the promise of a full body and great legs, Brian couldn't help but be disappointed.
