Rewe-Zentral AG V Bundesmonopolverwaltung Für Branntwein
''Rewe-Zentral v Bundesmonopolverwaltung für Branntwein'' (1979) Case C-120/78, popularly known as Cassis de Dijon after its subject matter, is an EU law decision of the European Court of Justice.

The case is a seminal judicial interpretation of article 34 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union. In the same ruling, the Court established the so-called ''rule of reason'', allowing non-discriminatory restrictive measures to be justified on grounds other than those listed in article 36 TFEU.
