depends,if you are in a restaurant for a meal order a jug (or two or three etc) of red,white or rosé instead of a bottle which may have a pretty label but ends up being expensive and tasting no dfferent to the much cheaper house wine.So,if you want half a litre of red wine you ask for 'un demi de rouge' or 'un demi carafe de rouge' or un demi pichet de rouge' - carafe or pichet = jug or pitcher
If you want white or rosé change the rouge for 'blanc' or 'rosé' - restaurants in france are like in the uk,they charge the earth for their wines with a big mark-up.Most wine drinkers are peasants like me and can't tell the difference between a renowned red costing €10 minimum and an ordinary house red (vin ordinaire).Who cares after the first couple of glasses ?
In the supermarkets you would have to pay between about €1.50 - €2.50 to get a nice bottle of whatever.You can pay a fortune for something that looks pretty and has a picture of a chateau on it but don't be tempted.Down in that part of the world you can get some nice Vin de Pays de l'Aude or Herault or of course a cheap Corbiéres - keep away from the Bordeaux IMO which are usually pretty heavy,especially in the hot weather.
Don't forget your corkscrew and some paper mugs...... icon_cheers.gif & bon voyage...

On the last 2 visits to Perp I drank an excellent red called 'LE POT' (no jokes please!), but it went from 3 euros a bottle one year to 12 euros the next, so I shall be on the lookout for a reasonable (cheaper) substitute this time, I'm sure I'll enjoy the search !!

FFS don't pay any more than €3 per bottle !!!

there' a lot of snobbery regarding red wine - don't waste your money on the 'posh' stuff - stick to a 'vin de pays' at about €2.50 max
you can't go far wrong with a Corbiéres or Herault or l'Aude at that sort of price....

happy guzzling icon_cheers.gif

simply supermarche = €1 for a bottle of wine. sold in a plastic bottle mind you icon_wink.gif
carrefour market = €0.83 for a bottle of white.
tastes like paint stripper but does the job icon_wink.gif
also, Fitz Brau is usually pretty cheap for a crate in Simply Supermarche too.
