Corkscrew: Groovy Grünernew
When I overheard those "in the know" praising a grape nicknamed GruVee (GROO vee), I perked up. I wondered if it merited the word that coddled groovy childhood memories. Then, after some research, I realized it needs the nickname -- its tongue-twisting title is tough to pronounce, and it hails from a country few can find on a map: Grüner Veltliner (GREW ner VELT liner) from Austria.
