Medium Bodied White

One of the main ways to talk about wine is by discussing a wine’s body. Wine body can be divided into three categories: light body, medium body, and full body. Imagine how skim milk, whole milk, and cream feel differently in your mouth. Although not as dramatic as the milk example, the body of wine can be compared in a similar way.

Several things contribute to the body of a wine, and one of the main things is alcohol content; the more alcohol, the more viscous.

Try pairing these medium-bodied white wines with seafood, such as oysters, scallops, sashimi, or salads with mild vinaigrettes. Generally, these wines have an alcohol content
between 12.5% and 13.5%.
