Airhead-
This. 1/3rd is expensive wine we brought from London that needs to be kept for a few years, but the other 2/3rds is €3-4 a bottle bought on special offers. Mostly cheap Bordeaux which is the local stuff, but also about 8 cases bought at Lidl when they had an Italian week, because it's impossible to buy decent well-priced Italian wine here.
Basically how you live in France is wait till the thing you want is on special offer somewhere, then buy as much of it as you possibly can. Otherwise the cost of living is rather high.
