thin

Negative description for the deficient overall impression (also flat, with little body, flat, weakly breasted, low in substance) in the context of a wine appeal. It has little body, extract and aroma and tastes watery. However, this is not a synonym for a light (low-alcohol) wine. Related terms are emaciated, bland, over and hollow. Positive terms in this respect are alcoholic, rich in extract, full-bodied and bulky.

There is a vast number of sources on the web where one can acquire knowledge about wine. But none has the scope, timeliness and accuracy of the information in the encyclopaedia at wein.plus. I use it regularly and rely on it.
