I'm curious to know

By Foodie, he meant me...

Your question is indeed unanswerable in anything more than vague references to what we often expect of wines. But what we often expect is sometimes not what we get. In fact, there's no particular rule or reason for wines to be full bodied as opposed to light because even grapes that have a certain body and soul can be altered by the winemaker.

Having said that, I'll say this: here's your list changed to the order of boldness/lightness--as a complete and utter generality, which I am certain can be challenged.

Reds

Cabernet Sauvignon
Malbec
Petite Sirah
Syrah
Zinfandel
Merlot
Cabernet Franc
Sangiovese
Pinot Noir
Grenache


Whites

Chardonnay
Gewurztraminer
Viognier
Riesling
Chardonnay (yes, again)
Sauvignon Blanc
Chenin Blanc
Pinot Grigio
Riesling (yes, again)


Semillon
