Definition: The body of a wine refers to the fullness, weight and concentration and total mouth feel of a wine. A light-bodied wine would be have less concentrated flavors, while a full-bodied wine would be notably more concentrated. Light-bodied wines would feel similar to water in your mouth and full-bodied wines would be more like milk as far as heaviness.
