Have you ever noticed that when you swirl a glass of wine "legs " apear?
The legs are an indicator of the alcohol content in the wine. The speed that the legs drip down the wine glass gives the drinker an idea of the alcohol content of the wine. The legs of a wine with low alcohol content will drip down faster than the legs of a wine with a greater alcohol content. Wine with a higher alcohol content will take longer to evaporate, causing the legs to run down the glass more slowly.
Here is a saying to help you rember how to judge the alcohol content of your wine: If the legs of the wine are moving slowly, you will also be moving slowly after a few glasses.
