Is Pinot Grigio good for a recipe that calls for white wine?

I've read that sauvignon blanc is a good choice but had some Pinot Grigio in the fridge. I'm making french onion soup.

1. yep.. it will be just as good....
2. Perfect, I also use a dry vermouth when necessary.
3. Sure, that will be fine.
4. sure, it's a light dry wine that will work fine for cooking
5. The french always use red where possible, better flavors in the end product
6. Hmm maybe a tad sweet. I usually use a Cabernet/Burgundy for my French onion soup, I use Vidalia onions.
7. Different wines will affect the final product by giving it slightly different tastes. Keeping that in mind, you should only use wine in recipes that you would drink from a glass. If your pinot grigio is a bottle of wine that you would drink, then it will be great in your recipe. But your soup will taste a little different than if you used sauvignon blanc or chardonnay, etc.
