Recommended wine: Bordeaux, Champagne, White Burgundy

French works really well with Bordeaux, Champagne, and White Burgundy. 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. The Amelia Brut rosé Cremant de Bordeaux with a 4.1 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 23 dollars per bottle.
