Good day. I am reading other book about wine.
I can't understand a sentence. Can you help me please?
The context is below:
"Italian grapes are not only provincial, they're patriotic. Even the finicky Pinot Noir has conceded grudgingly to perform outside of France.
What does the phrase "to perform outside of France" mean in this context?
Does it mean that Pinot Noir is losing for presentation outside of France? (Saying more merely...[?])
Kind regards, sorry for a silly questions.

The Pinot Noir variety of grape will grow successfully and make good wine outside of France. The sentence is a bit humorous. Obviously the grape does not really know in which country it is growing.
