lágrima fácil

Question

This is a reference to wine. I think the "lagrima" part can be used to refer to swirling the wine in the glass but if anyone knows more about this expression in terms of wine evaluation I would love to know about it. Thanks

Answer 1

Normally, about films, books etc. I think it means tear-jerker, sentimental. However, having looked it up, with wine; fast legs! Apparently fast legs means it runs down the side of the glass quickly. I've never heard this expression, but apparently it's used durinng wine tastings. It's to do with the sugar content, which , presumably affects thickness and the wine can run faster or slower. This is not a very clear answer, but it's the best I can do and I think the expressions are correct .

Yes I know the tear-jerker, crybaby allusions but "fast legs" that's new to me. I must learn to move in more exalted circles :-) - lagartijaverde, Nov 20, 2012

Fast legs!! Now there's a thing. You are a woman after my own heart annierats.

We'll visit a winetasting together, one day, and we'll shake our heads and say ' lágrima fácil' and see if it works.. - annierats, Nov 20, 2012
