Pretty much only used with modifiers- smooth texture, velvety texture, silky texture, rough texture, grainy texture. An *attempt* to describe what the wine feels like in one's mouth. |

High alcohol wines tend to feel more viscous, or heavier if you like. Other physical sensations that could be described as texture are due to astringency - from precipitation of solids as a result of the reaction of tannins with saliva.
