Pinot Grigio and Pinot Gris are two similar kinds of wine from the same variety of grape. This kind of grape is usually white in color and has a grayish or brownish skin. The grape is said to have come from the Burgundian Pinot family in France. However, the name given to the wines made from this type of grape in France is Pinot Gris. Moreover, Italy also made exactly this kind of wine, and the credit is given to them for making it popularly known.
