When a glass of wine is swirled alcohol clings to the side and falls back in "legs". In Germany it is known as "church windows" which it resembles. Legs are a product of the simple fact that the alcohol in wine evaporates more quickly than water. Did you know that the thickness and speed at which legs drop indicates a wine's strength? Slower legs indicate higher alcohol content.
