The dark red color of red wine is burgundy. Your sofa might be upholstered in burgundy velvet, and your favorite shoes might be made of shiny burgundy leather. In both cases, the color is such a deep red that it's nearly purple, or even black. The color known as burgundy comes from the wine of the same name, a dark, dry red wine that's traditionally made from grapes grown in and around Burgundy, France.
