It was in the mess hall that there were crates of various beverages, including unlabeled demi-bouteilles (ou moins que) of wine, next to stacks of steel mess trays and eating utensils to be picked up as one entered the chow line. Perhaps there was a difference between the branches of service; or, the time periods of our experiences. I don't know if availability was restricted to those French soldiers who were off duty [and in civvies?]; but, my team was in uniform and they graciously didn't say anything.
