Full-bodied red wines

A fuller red has more weight in the mouth. Compare alcohol and tannin alongside body, particularly if you want a substantial wine that still feels comfortable with food.

WINEVERY / THE GUIDEFull-bodied red wines
01

Separate weight from grip

Body and tannin are different sensations. A full-bodied wine can feel rounded or drying, depending on its structure. Check both dimensions against a bottle you already enjoy.

02

Give chilli some thought

A substantial roast may suit a structured red. Strong chilli is another matter: alcohol can intensify the burn, and firm tannin may feel harsher. Choose the wine for the whole dish.
