Viscosity

Viscosity is the character some wines possess of being somewhat syrupy and slow to move around in the mouth. Honey, for example, is more viscous than water, and alcohol, by its nature, is viscous. Thus, both sweet wines and wines with high alcohol are more viscous than dry wines and wines low in alcohol.
