Denis Saverot

'''Denis Saverot''' is a French author and the editor of the French wine publication ''La Revue du vin de France''.

In 2008 Saverot accused the French government of contempt for French culture, after a Paris court ruled that a ''Le Parisien'' article on Champagne was considered advertising subject to the Evin law, regulating alcohol and tobacco advertising.<ref name=decanter7>{{Cite web |last=Styles |first=Oliver, ''Decanter'' |title=Revue du Vin de France editor attacks French government, winemakers |url=http://www.decanter.com/news/177037.html |date=January 31, 2008 |access-date=October 12, 2010 |archive-date=September 13, 2009 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090913070906/http://www.decanter.com/news/177037.html |url-status=dead }}</ref>

Saverot co-authored the 2008 book ''In Vino Satanas'' with the ''Le Journal du Dimanche'' journalist Benoist Simmat, describing a French wine industry that is currently in a crisis and accusing the French government of subverting the French wine industry in favour of the pharmaceutical industry.<ref>Kevany, Spohie, wine-business-international.com (October 10, 2008).
