What does PINOT mean in Scrabble?
noun
Any of several closely related grape varieties, especially Pinot Noir and Pinot Grigio, or the wine made from them.
Pinot names a family of grapes long grown in the Burgundy region of France, and small genetic differences separate the black-skinned Pinot Noir from the white-skinned Pinot Blanc and the pinkish-grey Pinot Gris, called Pinot Grigio in Italian. Because the grape is notoriously sensitive to soil and climate, wine made from pinot can vary enormously from one vineyard to the next, which is part of why collectors prize certain regions above others. The same grapes also go into many sparkling wines, including much of the base wine used for champagne.
How PINOT is used
A common word among wine drinkers and on wine labels, usually followed by Noir, Gris or Blanc to name the specific grape.
