Besides french bread, France is famous for its wines. Happily, wines in France are extraordinarily cheap compared to their prices in America. You can purchase wine either in the supermarkets or in specialty wine shops. Supermarkets like Monoprix have a huge wine selection. Nicholas wine stores are abundant in and around Paris.
Wine prices start around €1 for table wine in a box. You probably don't want to buy that. Bottled red wines that are drinkable start at about €1.75-2.00 ($2.00 - 2.50 U.S.) and work their way up from there. If you are not interested in trying a bunch of €2 wines to find one you like, then try the mid-priced wines between €5.00-7.00. Wines in this price range will generally not disappoint you.
Sparkling white wines start at about €5.50-6.00 ($7 U.S.) and are quite drinkable and do not give you a hangover. Champagne starts at €10.00 ($12 U.S.) and is good even at this price.
In general you will find that bottles of wine are cheaper than a six pack of beer and about the same price as one liter of Coca-Cola.
