The standard

The measured flow resistance judges viscosity as a physical quantity and separates it from impressions that have other causes.

Criteria

Dissolved sugar and alcohol raise the flow resistance measurably
The palate impression of fullness is not the same as measured viscosity
It says nothing about merit, only about composition

Distinction

Viscosity ≠ tears: the streaks running down the glass wall arise from evaporation and the surface tension of alcohol, not from flow resistance. Viscosity ≠ body: the body is a composite overall impression, the measured flow resistance only one of its components.
