Etymology[edit]
Noun[edit]
Burg (countable and uncountable, plural Burgs)
- Burgundy wine.
- 2018, Joel Berman, “Rhône Vintages”, in So You Want to Be a Wine Merchant?, Tucson, AZ: Wheatmark, →ISBN, page 98:
- Many 2006 Burgundy reds are drinking well now, the better 2007s, especially Chambolles, have been beautiful for a while, and the 2008s could be left alone for a year or so to resolve their tannins. I find many 2011 and 2012 Burgs seductive, and irresistible, just bursting with fruit.
