France is the country for wine and the Languedoc Roussillon region produces more annually than the whole of Australia! There are too many varieties to name here it deserves its own wiki but as a pointer for red try a mid priced pic st loup The white for the local seafood and especially the oysters is picpoul de Pinet, no need for lemon juice! During the summer months many people stick to rose, but a lot of restaurants also serve chilled red wine. For sweet-tooths, the neighbouring towns of Lunel and Frontignan produce good quality muscat and have their own appelations.
The apéritif liquor of the south of France is Pastis, which, while not for everyone, is a definite part of the local culture. Pastis should normally be served onto a single ice cube and then diluted to taste. There are, however several bizarre permutations of this drink that can be concoted using grenadine, mint syrup and orgeat almond and rose flower
