One thing that has me greatly confused though is a distinct lack of

confirmed ale-drinking hop head, am I doomed to disappointment?

You should try Kalmane Coffee (has a store in most of the malls). Great
coffee for the coffee lover. Cafe Coffee day and Barista are just
Starbucks-wannabes with IMO dreadful coffee. Although, the baristas in
CCD and Barista are better than the ones in Starbucks. They actually
make decent latte and try to add some design to the drink while pouring
the foam.
As far as Ale is concerned, at this time, I am afraid you have to rely
on Guinness.
Import wines are expensive here. I usually pick up a couple of bottles
in the duty free when I travel. I would recommend you do the same. In
fact, the wines in the duty free in FRA are great. Nice selection of
wines from around the world. Of course, it would be a shame if you don't
pick up a riesling or an eiswein.
