For the wine part, I don't know if you are aware but foreign wine still have a very bad reputation in France, foreign wine account for 5% of the total sales in France, so you have 5% for Spain + Italy + Portugal + the new world all together, that's pretty much nothing. The only common foreign wine I've ever seen is maybe Porto, that's the only exception and probably a good part of these 5%. They are an absolute niche and a tough sell even without any regulation. I know a lot of people who would not trust foreign wine at all. Additionally, France has not adopted the English way to categorise wine and still uses the French way, which does not help to sell foreign wines there. And for the pharmacists, I'm living now in Asia and I appreciate the French system even more because at least in France you can trust pharmacists without any doubt.
