burgundy
Deep red hue
Burgundy is a dark purplish-red color, named for the wine from the French region.
The color appears in fashion, home décor, and team uniforms: a burgundy sweater, burgundy lipstick.
As a wine term, burgundy once referred broadly to any red wine, though this usage has faded as wine vocabulary has become more precise. (Capitalized Burgundy is the French region.)
