“I never thought that, for example, advertising our wine, which is made from Russian wine materials, is reprehensible,” RIA Novosti quotes RIA Novosti.
The Prime Minister also noted that when deciding on the resolution of wine advertising it is necessary to take into account trade and health policies.
“If attitudes change in society, then we can discuss this with deputies,” he added.
On September 13, Vladimir Michelovin, head of the FAS Russia’s financial control department, said that beer, like domestic wine, needed to ease the ban on advertising.
