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 in the wine;
The thicker and more and more resinous the slick left behind, the higher the alcohol content. Simple.
You see; skinny legs are not always a good thing...
