Editing Semi-generic (section)

==Definition==
In the U.S., semi-generics are defined by law in 27 [[Code of Federal Regulations|CFR]] 4.24. There are two types.
The first type is names that can legally refer to any grape wine whatsoever. In practice, most have become associated with a given style, which is noted.
* Burgundy – Generic red wine, for example [[E & J Gallo Winery|Gallo]]'s Hearty Burgundy. Named after [[France|French]] [[Burgundy wine|Burgundy]].

* Sauterne – White or pink, dry or sweet, named after [[Sauternes (wine)|Sauternes]] but deliberately misspelled.
