what is the difference between the following stmts?

1. French wines taste better than American wines -- it is incorrect it seems


2. John ran as fast as, or even faster than, Paul

i thought both of them are correct.. but latter one is correct and former one is wrong

comparison confuses me always.. kindly help! please address the issue using the above two examples.

In 1. French wine's taste is compared with American wine's taste.
Not with American wine!
