Where you're staying is full of migrants and tourists. But it's quite a nice place to visit. Just try to avoid pickpockets

Yes you can get a nice bottle of red or white wine for 5 euros at any stores. Avoid overrated "Bordeaux" and try some red Côte du rhones (really strong and tasty wines).

Go to Monoprix and get some white Vin de pays d'Oc, Picpoul de Pinet or Muscadet or Saint-Pourçain (no more than 4 euros a bottle).

If you like Champagne, dont overpay a bottle and try some nice bottles of "Crémant" white or Rosé. Crémant is not sparkling wine but the exact same method used to make Champagne, just from a different region.
Instead of paying 15? for a mediocre Champagne, you can get a real good Crémant for less than 10?.

Enjoy
