Etymology: "Pinots" is simply the plural of "pinot," so it means several kinds of wine made from pinot grapes. The singular "pinot" was borrowed from French, where it named a type of wine or grapevine. That French word was formed from the earlier "pineau," and the name points back to the pine-cone-shaped clusters the grapes grow in.

Synonyms: pinot noir, pinot grigio, pinot blanc
