Why do French people drink so much?

I can't entirely articulate it, but the pause with the comma makes it feel slightly more natural here.
The meal is finished; do they stop drinking?
Not yet, there is still one more glass of wine called 'digestif'. Not yet, there is still one more glass of wine called 'digestif'.
"Not yet" is the syntactically correct way of stating that they are in fact, not finished drinking yet. You could replace "Not yet" with just "No" if you wanted to be more concise.
I added quotation marks around digestif as a way to accentuate the name of the wine, this is optional, but I would recommend it in this case, especially as you point out a name from another language.
Actually,It turns out that they never drink wine to get drunk, but to make each dish more delicious.
It turns out that they never drink wine to get drunk, but to make each dish more delicious.
"Actually" in this sentence would imply to me that you or someone else had previously stated that this was not the case.
"It turns out" would be a more natural turn of phrase, in my opinion.
Feedback
I like your sentence construction, and only had one syntactical issue, and one issue with phrasing.
The usage of the semicolon was good to my (admittedly tired) eyes, and the usage of the word 'whet' surprised me with how nice it was.
Good job! Keep up the good work.
