My advice is to be very careful where you buy. We go to Roscoff three or four times a year and have tried all the wine outlets. We used to be attracted to the `booze cruise` places at Roscoff, but soon realised that most of them buy simply on price and don`t care for the quality. We feel that what is the point of saving say, 50 centimes, only to go home with something which is disappointing. Compared to prices here that extra 50 centimes is money well spent! Some of the large supermarkets can be good especially if you fall upon a special offer, (try Super U at St. Pol de Leon) but of course, you can`t taste, buy in large quantities, or speak English. Roscoff`s Wine Seller isn`t the cheapest, and doesn`t pretend to be, but they sell a better quality, and of course you can taste. Last year we bought a medal winning Merlot for about 3 euros, nectar in a bottle! We`re off to stock up for Christmas on the next cheap crossing. We will look at the other `booze cruise`places, but probably will go for the higher quality at the port, at the Wine Seller.

And another!
The best option remains buying from the producer if you have the time to do the research and legwork. A friend bought some terrible wine in the Wine and Beer shop just outside Roscoff (against my advice) and I always call in when passing to see if they have bargains. Most of what they sell is terrible stuff. the only thing I have ever bought there was a 5ltr bottle of Ch. Tannesse 1995 which was great value (around 33 quid) and looked great at a party I had in 2003. I promise to visit Roscoff Wine Seller later this year if I get the chance. From their contributions to this page they do seem to genuinely care about what they sell unlike their rivals and this really does count for something in France (supermarkets for example couldn`t care less, 99 per cent of the time)....
and yet another!
Having too, just come back from Roscoff and having seen Leslie's comments re: the winewarehouses at the ports, I agree with him that the selection from most of them is terrible. They all seem filled with "Calais" type wine ie. JP Chenet, Gallo, Piat d'Or etc. I think the problem is that the majority of these wines are not imported directly into France, but are imported into England, then exported to Calais and on to other ports, a distance of about 8 hours from Roscoff so really the transport costs almost wipe out any price saving. Although I'm not in favour of promoting any outlet I must say that the selection offered by Roscoff's Wine Seller (at the port) is well above the rest. We found a superb selection of property bottled French wines, all incredibly Interesting and very good value for money. We will be returning!
and even yet another!

Roscoff's Wine and Beer Seller:
Wine, Wine, Wine and some Beer!Updated by John Gayton on August 3, 2005.
This is not a shop as such, but rather a warehouse, filled with......you guessed it: Wine, Wine, Wine and Beer! Having had an absolutely excellent lunch at l'Eclume and a post-prandial wander up to the Table d'Orientation it was time to head back towards the ferry. Walking, this time from a different direction to the way I walked into town, took me past the little industrial estate that I had noticed on my way into town that morning. "WINE THIS WAY!!" said the sign! (plus whatever blurb accompanied the main message). "WINE THIS WAY" is good enough for me and following my feet (I always let them do the walking) there was Roscoff's Wine and Beer Seller.At first the warehouse, fronted by chain link fencing, looks more like a trade outlet than a retail one but the signage was unambiguously welcoming. On entry it is simply a warehouse with pallet upon pallet of cases of wine, mostly from small vineyards, well described on cards with personalised tasting and information notes. There is also a tasting table by the entrance, which when I arrived was unmanned. Unfortunately I only had about 15 mins until I was supposed to check-in for my return sailing and didn't really have time to savour the experience but after a quick look around settled on a half-case of perfectly good merlot for the princely sum of 17.34 euros. This is actually an English-run concern and brief though my visit was I will definitely have to return, if only for the tasting table!! From under 3 euros for a perfectly drinkable bottle of vin de pays up to whatever you want to spend, and there seems to be some worthwhile bargains to be had at the upper end.
