It is the place to get fine French wine in particular.

Was at Carrefour last Sunday as they were setting up the Feria and spent a large sum on two bottles of newly arrived Beaujolais Nouveau. I knew it was exhorbitant but it had to have been flown to DR being that it is released on a Thursday in the third week of November (18th). The fresh Gamay 'vin de primeur' fermented for just a few weeks is an annual novalty. Will be back to buy wine for the festive season at the Feria soon.

They have not posted the wine listings yet on Facebook but I guess they will appear after the Black Friday offers. They will list the wine you can buy by the half case and normally it includes some good offers.
