France: President Macron appoints wine lobbyist as adviser

May 25, 2017

(Decanter) - New French president Emmanuel Macron has appointed a leading wine lobbyist as one of his agriculture advisers. 

Audrey Bourolleau, who was president of the Côtes de Bordeaux wine union from 2010-2012, has been appointed a key agricultural adviser in the new government of president Emmanuel Macron.

Her immediate post before this was with Vin et Société, a lobbying group for the wine industry that promotes drinking in moderation and was created to defend winemakers against a strict interpretation of France’s Evin Law on alcohol advertising.
