Police stopped CRAV wine activists headed for Bordeaux – report
Jun 13, 2017
(Decanter) - It is believed that French police have stopped a possible sabotage attack by French militant winemaker group CRAV - or CAV - in Bordeaux in the past month.
Southern France’s violent wine activist group, the Comité Régional d’Action Viticole, better known as CRAV or sometimes simply CAV, was understood to be behind a foiled attack in early May on one or more Bordeaux-based bulk wine sellers.
Police stopped the activists on the A62 motorway that runs from Toulouse up to Bordeaux, according to French media outlet Vitisphere. No one was willing to go on-record to confirm the story.
Alexandre Abellan, journalist with Vitisphere, said the news raised concerns for the Vinexpo wine trade show, due to take place in Bordeaux from Sunday 18 June. Vinexpo has chosen Spain as its ‘country of honour’ and much of the CRAV violence has centred on disrupting cheap Spanish wine imports in France.
