Decanter has published its bi-annual Power List of the 50 most influential figures in the international wine world - and Pernod Ricard's chief executive is in top position. Pierre Pringuet, CEO of ‘arguably today’s most diverse, far-reaching major wine producer’ has knocked Constellation's Robert Sands from the number one slot. The 60-year-old executive , number 10 in 2009’s Power List, presides over the world’s fourth biggest wine company, owner of brands from Champagne Mumm and Perrier-Jouet to Jacob’s Creek and New Zealand’s Brancott Estate.
