Recommended wine: Bordeaux, Champagne, White Burgundy

Bordeaux, Champagne, and White Burgundy are great choices for French. French wine is just as diverse as French food, but you rarely go wrong with champagne. If your meal calls for a white wine, you might also try a white burgundy. For a red, try a red bordeaux blend. One wine you could try is Calvet Cremant de Bordeaux Brut. It has 4.9 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 17 dollars.
