Buying Wine in France

While at the grocery store with French Husband I filmed the wine section with my i-Phone. I was in a goofy mood, which isn't unlike me on most days.

 

 

 

In the video you will see wine bottles galore, and French Husband and Alain, the wine clerk talking up a storm about wine.

P.S. I cannot resist saying that: Alain is single by the way.

Who needs wine?

  1. Ah, that was nice and by the way, Corey, your French sounds just fine. xo Rhonda

  2. I love your slice of life videos, Corey. I will be coming to France Sept 1 for a wedding and I’m very much looking forward to it. I love meandering through the grocery stores of the country that I’m visiting… and of course I hope to find an outdoor market or two.

  3. Is this where you stock up? Thanks for the video, it was neat!

    Thank you for the cool video. I miss the French grocery stores and it brings back fond memories. Once again thank you for the video.

  5. This is so fascinating to see what life is like in France!

  6. Sign me up! Franca Bollo and I need to plan a trip. Was in Brugundy and Alsace in June looking at vineyard equipment.
    I love the yogurt sections too. Fun video and nice to hear your voice in our house this morning.
    P.S. Franca keeps killing me in Scrabble, not that it’s a surprise.

    Il y a aussi des gens d´Autriche qui viennent en France pour y acheter du vin, parce qu´il fait très froid ici 😉

  12. I have to be better than you at something! >

  13. How strange to hear your voice for the first time. It sounds like my own! Fun video, thanks!

  14. How delightful to hear your voice !!!
    Almost like being there….thank you. Linda from central California, a faithful viewer. xo

  15. so the man has a little bling…it seems to work on him- it adds to his je ne sais quoi–non?

  16. corey 14 comments at 11:18 pm east coast time and i cannot believe no one stated what a good looking man alain is..and he has a warm smile…i think he is very handsome! oh yeah the wine selection /presentation that was interesting too!!

  17. Gosh, where was that store? We never saw one like that while there. Probably too far from us.

    Watched the video of French Husband conversing with the clerk at the store. So many wine selections! Did you notice the gentleman in the background who saw the video taking place and tried to ensure he was in the video…lol!
    But where are the customers? Such a large store but appears to be empty. Do the French shop on weekends instead of during the week, much like those of us in the States who only have time to shop on the weekend at the large stores?

  19. It’s fun getting a little view of your world!
    I loved as a child going into the huge Carrefour supermarkets and my dad filling the boot with French red before boarding the ferry back to Ireland. I used to spend the last of my pocket money on anything from the French stationary section. I loved knowing it would be different from my other Irish classmates when we returned to school at the end of the summer!

  20. we buy wine at the same shop…. 🙂
    lovely display and great variety! charming wine sales person; Alain – vous êtes adorable!

  21. Incredible! I have never seen such a display. The Japanese love their drink, but, boy, do they have a lot to learn about displaying it.
    I feel so deprived now.

  22. I love the yogurt sections too. Fun video and nice to hear your voice in our house this morning. getit search app ,
