Wine

Wine is a deep red slightly lighter and redder than burgundy, sold under names like merlot, claret or oxblood in lace and satin.

Wine sits one step up from burgundy, still deep but with more red and less purple. Brands rarely call it wine. The same color turns up as merlot, claret, cabernet, oxblood or berry, which is why the classifier groups by appearance rather than by product name.

In lace, wine shows more of the motif than burgundy, because the extra lightness lets the outlines read against the net. It is common in balconette sets, suspender belts and satin robes in winter collections, and it pairs well with black, gold and nude underlays.

The difference between wine and burgundy depends heavily on light. In daylight, wine reads as a clear deep red; in warm indoor light it can drop into burgundy. Bright, lit-from-the-front product photos tend to push it toward red.
