They’re called bistros à vins. A small varied list for you, a little something to suit your suds-buds/wine-meter.

The « Bistrot Melac » is one of the most famous Paris wine bars located in the eleventh arrondissement between Bastille and the Republique square. The owner, Jacques Mélac, seems to be like a sort of Cyrano de Bergerac with an enormous moustache. In another life, he was a sommelier in a big parisian hotel.
