What is the meaning of the color Burgundy?
The name comes from the Burgundy wine region in eastern France, where deep red wines have been produced since at least the early medieval period. By the 17th century, the color was associated with the wines exported from the region across Europe, giving the shade its name in common use. It entered English as a color term in the late 19th century, recorded in print by 1885. The fashion house Valentino has used the shade consistently in its collections, anchoring its association with luxury and formal dress.
