In a review of a restaurant the reviewer mentions that Spanish wine is
"headier when the food is spare." I am not exactly sure what he/she meant by
"headier." Is Spanish wine earthier, unsophisticated, heartier, unaged? I
have never drank Spanish wines, and was wondering what would be a good daily
wine that is "headier."

Thanks

That sounds like a lot of bovine ordure to me. "Headier when the food is
spare"? That reads to me like "If you eat less you'll get drunk more
easily". Not exactly an astounding conclusion, is it?

FWIW, I find Spanish wines to be roughly similar to most of the rest of the
world's wines with respect to intoxication potential.

Maybe header was referring to the body, how it is more of a heavy wine.
Which I seem to find more in a Spanish wine.

Yes, of course, but was it the meaning of the writer? He or she may not
have been English, or there was a poor translation?

Actually, here's the article:

Bascially, the premise is that the reviewer seems to be whoever is
available that week, therefore unnamed. The reviews tend to be ethnic
and/or inexpensive, but interesting, restaurants and bars. Diners are
popular.
Beer is mentioned much more than wine in the reviews...especially craft
beers.
I have no idea what Munch is talking about, except perhaps
poetic/journalistic license
