Monochrome Monday: The Wine Red Edition

Wine Red, akin to the watery layers of a fine Bordeaux, unfurls tales of opulence. Originating in the 1800s in Burgundy, France (and yes, that’s where the colour Burgundy gets its name), it made its mark both in wine cellars and Victorian fashion, commanding attention with the same intensity as true red. As the colour seeped into the threads of history, it became a statement, demanding recognition and embodying sophistication. Its roots in French wine culture expanded into a global embrace, symbolising at once luxury, passion, and rebellion.

This Monochrome Monday, we’re drinking to Wine Red - or Burgundy…whatever floats your boat.
