    I was taught that the "faster" the legs are the less sugar in the wine, so it will be more dry. A very sugary wine has "slow" legs. Just try this on an ice wine...it takes a long time for them to run down the side of the glass.

    This is a wine appreciation term referring to the colorless "tears" or liquid rivulets which form along the inside wall of a wine glass after the wine is swirled. They usually form about an inch above the surface of wine. Tears are formed more readily by higher alcohol wines than by lower -- the cause being related to alcohol content. For show-offs, remember that the higher the alcohol content, the more impressive the rivulets appear.
