In Spain, I recall when wine was automatically served with your meal, like ice water here. It was included in the price of a complete meal and it was good, not great but very drinkable.

I stayed in a farmhouse B&B in Tuscany a few years ago. Meals were served outdoors at a communal table in a sort of covered bower or patio. The owner's son made a pretty decent wine from their own grapes, and poured oceans of it to the guests. There was no extra charge and you could drink as much as you could hold. In fact, if he saw your glass getting low, he would fill it up, and simply would not take no for an answer. My lovely wife got very drunk, which is most unlike her--- (wicked grin) -- What a great vacation!
