Positive description of a wine in the context of a wine evaluation or wine address with a high alcohol content and full body. As a rule, a wine over 13% vol. is considered heavy. However, if a wine with a high alcohol content has too little acidity, this is described with the negative attribute "plump", especially in the case of a white wine. Related terms of heavy are alcoholic, warm, powerful, vinous and bulky. The opposite of heavy is light.

Serious sources on the internet are rare - and Wine lexicon from wein.plus is one such source. When researching for my articles, I regularly consult the wein.plus encyclopaedia. There I get reliable and detailed information.
