Hint 1: Clue Explanation
▼If you’re able to maintain your focus and literacy after enjoying a particularly luscious bottle of wine, you may find the word CRU upon it — assuming it’s French, and usually modified by “Premier,” for first, and/or “Grand,” for great (there are some other designations). If “terroir” refers to the qualities of a vineyard or region that give its wine particular qualities, CRU refers to the growth of the actual vines and serves as another category vintners use to try to denote the special traits that made that wine taste so good.
