Hi Musical!

Welcome to the wineboard. Drew touched on an important part of wine making/consumming. Each winery will have it's own style so it's hard to lump them into a catagory. Think of a paint store. How many different shades of blue are there? Hundreds!

You are in luck though. Here is a link of a brief description of each wine. Also, I would suggest that you do a google search on each particular wine. Many wineries have their own websites.

Something that is easy for novices to understand when talking about body style is comparing it to milk. Light body would be fat free milk, medium is milk that would have some fat (2%) and heavy body will be whole milk. It's the weight of the wine in your mouth. Regular milk feels fuller and heavier in your mouth than fat free milk does.

Heres the link - hope it helps:
