So what are the biggest full-bodied red wines out there? Look \u0026amp;nbsp;at a wine’s color and you’ll notice darker wines tend to be bolder. This is because a large portion of the flavor comes from the skins of the grapes. As you may already know, some grapes have thicker skins than others.\u0026amp;nbsp;\u003cbr\u003eBesides the skins and a high skin-to-berry ratio, there’s also pips. Wine grapes are seedy. Ever drink a bottle of Barolo and feel it dry out your mouth? Grape seeds (pips) are loaded with tannin which is commonly referred to as structure. The pips in Nebbiolo grapes, which make Barolo, are very high in tannin. You can feel the tannin from pips towards the front of your mouth (whereas oak tannin is farther back on your palate).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlcohol level is another factor that adds to the viscosity of a wine. A wine higher in alcohol will feel weightier than a wine with lower alcohol. You can physically see the impression of alcohol level as you swirl wine in a glass. A wine with higher alcohol will have more viscous wine tears. Wines with 14%+ ABV feel richer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"babylonstoren-babel-red-wine-75cl-14-5","title":"BABYLONSTOREN BABEL RED WINE 75CL 14.5%","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis Dry, Full-Bodied South African Red Wine, Called Babel, Is Babylonstorens Best-Selling Red Wine For Good Reasion; Its Brimming With Berries, Chocolate And Warmth.\u003cbr\u003e It Is A Full Bodied Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot And Malbec Blend With 14.0% Abv. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBabylonstoren Babel Is An Inspired Blend By Winemaker Klaas Stoffberg Under The Watchful Eye Of Cellarmaster Charl Coetzee.
