Default Burgundy - the color

OK, so my mind is drifting a little. Wine people know
that Burgundy can be white or red, but "Burgundy" is
also used to describe a color - a shade of bluish-red.

We often find "Burgundy" clothing, carpet, paint, etc.,
and it's all red.

Like I said, my mind is drifting a little, but are the
folks in France disturbed because elsewhere in the world
the color of "Burgundy" is a shade of red?

As always, I'm just curious,
Dick R.
