thin body
Slight physical build
Thin body describes a wine, beer, or other beverage that feels light and watery in the mouth rather than rich or full.
A wine with thin body lacks the viscosity and weight that create a satisfying mouthfeel: The cheap pinot had a thin body that disappeared on the palate.
The term is usually mildly critical, suggesting the drink is less substantial than expected.
