The alcohol sponsorship ban at sports stadia in France has been going since the mid-90's; I remember when the likes of Liverpool, Newcastle and Rangers - all of whom were sponsored by breweries - played European matches in France, they played in shirts without the sponsor on the front of the shirts.
In 96/97, Rangers and Newcastle were both sponsored by Centerparcs when playing in France - being another subsidiary of the Scottish & Newcastle brewery at the time.
