Go into the grocery store and buy the wine by the bottle. You get more for your money when you buy the 2 liter bottles. You can also go outside of the city to the local vineyards and sample some of the local wine (vino) the buy it by the case fairly cheaply. A case contains 20 - 3/4 liter bottles. The case is made of card board and not wood.
Now if you just want a drink try any cafe that is not located near St. Marko Square or the Grand Canal. These are the main tourist areas.
