Barefoot Bubbly, but cannot find it in France, any ideas, please?
Hello. I had to Google what barefoot bubbly is and it seems to be Canadian wine, is that right? I imagine some highly specialised importer of exotic foreign wine might stock it, so maybe Google is your friend in this instance.
Edited because as you can see I wrote Canadian not Californian. Must be going mad.

Do I even want to know what that is?

Looking it up it seems pretty cheap so perhaps try out some of the dry - semi sweet ranges in your nearest shops? American tastes tends to be for sweeter than French.

Thank you all 
Itâs a request from somebody so donât want to take an alternative, just in case. The bumph mentions California so she probably got her last supply from there?
Tesco UK and a drinks warehouse, but I was hoping not to drag it back from there.
I even saw that Iceland, not the country, had it some, but sold out!
Yes, lots of âthoseâ popped up!
I believe âBarefootâ is a Californian brand - Iâve had some of their still white wine in the past but not the fizzy sort. Itâs sold in the UK but whether it would make it to France is more doubtful.
Barefoot Bubbly RosĂ© sells for eight quid a bottle in Tesco so itâs not a premium brand. 
Apparently they chose the name âBarefootâ because they use the same grapes as âChateau LaFeetââŠ

Is there any restrictions for bringing alcohol into France?
Depends where you are coming from, but if frim non EU country then
| 16 litres | beer |
|---|---|
| 4 litres | Still wine (non-sparkling) |
| 2 litres | Intermediate products (e.g. vermouth, port wine, madeira wine) |
| OR 1 litre | Spirits (e.g. whisky, gin, vodka) |
| OR 1 | Proportional assortment of the two previous categories |

@JaneJones has answered the serious question, but I think the main risk is being arrested for disrespecting the French wine industry.

Youâve deprived me of the chance to bore every one with a very lengthy account of how in 1989 oldest friend and self managed to try every Canadian wine made at the time while spending a summer on my second oldest friendâs family island in the Muskoka Lakes of Northern Ontario.
Damn!
A few years ago I went to visit an Australian photographer friend who is now settled in Ontario.
I gave him some bottles of wine from hockey player Wayne Gretzkyâs vineyard (near Niagara Falls).
It was shit.

She has her fair share of French wine
So, little has changed around Niagara?
Nevertheless, imagine that today thereâs good wine coming out of BC, because from the mid-Eighties to mid-Nineties (when I had more money than now!) I was drinking a lot of excellent pinot noir and refined whites from Washington state.
