Burgundy with Sprite would be a wine cooler. Wine coolers are made with soda like that, whereas spritzers are made with wine and plain soda water with perhaps a slice of lime.
I’ve not heard of wine coolers being brewed. They are easily made in the convenience of your own home.

wine spritzer is mixed with soda water and coolers are brewed.

a wine cooler is a malt beverage, like a seagrams or bartles and jaymes. it generally contains some wine, fruit juice, a carbonated beverage and soda. i don’t typically consider this wine at all. i consider it in the same group as beverages like smirnoff or mike’s hard lemonade. since the early 1990s however, I don’t think any wine cooler actually contains any wine.

a wine spritzer is made with wine with only actual white wine and soda (tonic, club or sprite). this is not something you can buy in a bottle at the store. you make it yourself with wine and soda.
