Body

English wine authority Michael Broadbent puts it well in his Wine Tasting: "the weight of the wine in the mouth due to its alcoholic content and to its other physical components.
These in turn are due to the quality of the wine, to the vintage, its geographical origin, and general style.
Wines from hotter climates tend to have more body than those from the north (compare the Rhône with the Mosel, for example)."
