Even if the tariffs were to be reversed tomorrow, one wine business leader said, it’ll take "at least a year, if not longer, for my industry to recover.”
Canada’s break from American-made wine and the Trump administration’s global tariffs have compounded the struggles of the United States’ already-stressed wine industry to the point that it may be difficult for much of it “to come back from,” an American wine organization leader told NBC News.
“Canada is the single most important export market for U.S. wines with retail sales in excess of $1.1 billion annually,” Robert Koch, the California Wine Institute’s president and CEO, said in a statement.
Last month Canada united to boycott American wines — taking all U.S.-made vino and alcohol off its liquor and wine store shelves and out of restaurants across the country — as an aggressive retaliatory response to Trump’s tariffs on its political ally north of the border.
I am pretty sick of its ubiquity. Like my friends can’t even hang out unless it’s somewhere that serves.
I don’t see votes but you’re probably downvoted to hell. People get real weird when you start criticising what they eat or drink.
Yes, people do get “weird” when you literally call them “evil”.
“I don’t like the way that drinking alcohol is seen as a neccessary component of socialising in our society.” <-- Completely reasonable statement, even as someone who drinks I agree wholeheartedly. North America in particular has a serious problem with a lack of third spaces that aren’t bars or other places that serve alcohol.
“Alcohol is evil” <-- Absolutely deranged thing to say, deserves to be down voted into oblivion. I cannot even begin to imagine what would possess someone to willingly share this thought with the universe.
