Body has to do with mouth feel. Think skim milk, whole milk, heavy cream. Body is closely analogous to alcoholic content. Full body can usually be found in wines with over 12.5% alcohol.

WOW is in the right neck of woods with her recommendation. Rhone whites whether upper or lower; or from the Rhone or a New World Rhone type producer. I love Terre Rouge Enigma, Sierra Foothills. It is a blend of marsanne, viognier, and roussanne; and has 14.3% alcohol content. It runs $18. For much less you can pick up a Cotes Du Rhone Blanc with many of same characteristics. For American producers of these wines, check out: www.rhonerangers.com
