In the “Shopping for Wine with Barron” Video Series, Barron Beltz helps Wine Lovers navigate the often confusing Wine Sections and Wine Displays found in Grocery Stores and Supermarkets in Europe.
In Episode 3, Barron Beltz reveals the secret of finding the extremely popular white wine, Pinot Grigio, not only in the Italian Wine Section, but also in the German and French Wine Sections!
Ripened Pinot Grigio grape clusters tend to have a very unique and interesting coloration, which can have a rose, pinkish or violet color with a hue of gray. This is why each of these 3 countries gives this grape varietal its own name with reference to the gray hue:
Italy: Pinot Grigio (grigio = gray)
France: Pinot Gris (gris = gray)
Germany: Grauburgunder (grau = gray)
