The correct colour term for a British officer's sash (and sergeants) is 'crimson', which is indeed a light wine colour. A red sash was worn by American sergeants. American regular officers wore a crimson sash as well but the colour is sometimes portrayed as a deep wine. American officer's sashes are sometimes referred to as red, which is incorrect.
