Sweetness Dry
Dry wines like Cabernet and Pinot Grigio have no perceptible amount of sweetness to the drinker and will often be detected as having a drying character in the mouth.
Body Medium
Great for food, medium bodied wines typically have alcohol levels below 14% and less oak.
Oak Medium
Most red wines will have at least a medium oak level as it is an expected part of the taste of a red wine.
