Note
A plural that only the countable uses need. As a mass noun, burgundy is wine or color in general. Once you count, burgundies are particular wines, such as a flight from different vineyards or Burgundy-style reds from Australia or California, or distinct shades of purple-red. The lowercase spelling sits beside capitalized Burgundies for the wines, and the adjective never takes this form.
