The 10 Best Pinot Grigios Under $25

Beloved for its crisp, refreshing acidity and prominent citrus flavors, Pinot Grigio is the second most popular white wine in the United States, ranking after only Chardonnay. The wine actually goes by two different names: Pinot Grigio in Italy, where it was named and thought to have originated, and Pinot Gris in France, where it actually did. In the U.S., producers name their wines based on the similarities to either country’s variety. First identified in Burgundy in the Middle Ages, the grape migrated to Switzerland, where it was supposedly enjoyed by leaders of the Holy Roman Empire by the 1300s.
