pinot
Burgundy wine variety
Pinot refers to a family of grape varieties used in winemaking, most notably pinot noir (red) and pinot grigio or pinot gris (white).
The grapes originated in Burgundy and now grow in wine regions worldwide.
On a wine list or in casual use, pinot alone usually means pinot noir: I'll have a glass of pinot.
