Term (English: easy-drinking, smooth; French: gouleyant, Italian: passante), especially in German-speaking countries, for a wine in the context of a wine talk or wine evaluation. It is usually an easy-drinking, pleasant-tasting and often refreshing wine that motivates people to continue drinking it. It is usually understood to be a rather mild wine with a low alcohol, acidity and tannin content, which is soft, round and uncomplicated and therefore easy to drink.

This impression often overlaps with a pronounced drinkability. In practice, palatable is mainly used for accessible, easy-going and harmonious wines, but is not a reliable indication of a specific quality level. Depending on the context, palatable can also be slightly pejorative, for example in the sense of pleasing but lacking in character. The term is also used to describe a drinking binge and a certain alcohol dependency (the expression "someone is addicted to booze").
