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
Tom
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.

"Heady" refers to high alcohol level.

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.
No, there is a clear and specificmeaning for "heady"

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? Anders

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 ;) de
