French wine should be on your must-get list for the obvious reason—they are French wines. They are fantastic and ridiculously affordable. So is French ‘liqueur’. You can buy some for about half the price, or even less, of what they cost back home. French wine is definitely going to add a few extra pounds for you to drag along, but hey, that is just for a brief period and is totally worth it.
