Red Wine FAQs

What is the difference between light, medium, and full-bodied red wine?

Light-bodied red wines are more delicate with lower tannins and brighter acidity, while medium-bodied wines offer a balance of fruit and structure. Full-bodied reds are richer, with higher tannins and more concentrated flavors.

Is red wine dry or sweet?

Most red wines are dry, meaning they contain little to no residual sugar. While many show ripe, fruit-forward characteristics, truly sweet red wines are less common.

What food pairs well with red wine?

Red wines pair well with a range of foods, including red meat, grilled dishes, pasta, and aged cheeses. Lighter reds complement poultry and vegetables, while fuller-bodied wines suit richer, more robust dishes.
