In general:

Beer........France/Spain about equal

Wine.......Spain slightly cheaper,but not for "quality" wines

Fizz.....Spain a LOT cheaper

Martini etc.....not much in it,but Spain cheaper

Spirits ..... Spain a LOT cheaper.

That's my view anyway.......

I think you've got it about right, John, although would disagree with beer.

Spain is much cheaper for beer I find

If you ever come across a Mercadona supermarket in Spain - Figueres perhaps - then try their Comportillo rioja range.
The red comes either in a blue top or a black one, the latter is oaky(oakey? oakie? well it is ok anyway), the former is a lighter wine altogether.
We love both and they are very reasonably priced.
They also do a white and a rose which mr. polremy isn't so keen on.
The good news is that, although a lot of food and drink tends to be more expensive here in Tenerife than in mainland Spain, the wine in Mercadona is exactly the same price.
