Short for Burgundy , a red or
white wine produced
in the French region of Burgundy. Red wines are usually made from Pinot noir, white wines from
Chardonnay, but the wines rarely bear the grape designation, rather the name of their origin.
In wine circles the abbrevation BURG is quite common. Sometimes the term is also used for wines made from Burgundian grapes (Pinot noir etc.) grown in other countries.
