To my French friends : don’t be too worried about Trump’s suggestion of a 200% tariff on French wine. Dixit Bloomberg: “Nobody Wants to Drink Sparkling Wine From the Midwest”

I’m in favour of that, if Americans start thinking French wine is super expensive in 10 years I’ll be able to impress people with me 15 euro bottle of champagne.

It’s on all EU alcohole products not just french wine.
And it’s pay walled.

The problem is we haven’t been punched in the mouth yet. We’ve been well-insulated from most of the global struggles of the last 100 years. Until we get sufficiently punched in the mouth, the morons that think this is all a football game are going to outnumber the Americans with a brain

American whine from Washington DC continues to be freely available.

It’s not like they appreciated it… I mean… they mix it with orange juice just to start their day…

They can continue to drink their piss if they want.
They don’t deserve our wine, champagne, scottish whiskey, beers, or the infinite amount of good beverages we can produce.

Alas, alas, more wine for us.

God damn this Bouffon, can we get a rest already it’s only been a little over a month and feels like it’s been a fucking decade.

But French whine is priceless

I’m trying to think the last time I got French red wine, it’s always on the more expensive side already. Most imports I get are from South America (Argentina, Chile) and Eastern European

The Americans did it, my dad has been boycotting french wine since the early 90’s but the American president made my dad lift his 30+ year boycott of French wine.

I never thought that my dream of being a Belgian chocolate, French cheese, Italian pasta and Spanish olive oil smuggler would ever be true. Unfortunately, I’m on the wrong side of the Atlantic

Across most provinces in Canada, we now have all this empty shelving space formerly occupied by American wines. You’re very welcome to come fill them up along with Okanagan Valley (British Columbia) wines.

This could significantly impact the wine market and trade relations between the US and France.

If there isn’t a shutdown (federal employee), I’m going to stock up on Prosecco (I thought the proposal was all wine and whisky from the EU). At least a case which will last my wife and I maybe 1.5 months.
We belong to a pretty good vineyard in Maryland so we can make do without Italian, French, and Spanish wines for a little bit.
The real killer will be the loss of scotch. Bourbon and rye are great, but it isn’t as smooth or as good as scotch. The unfortunate thing is my wife doesn’t like scotch, so I’m not sure I can convince her stock up on this.

Great, redirect it to Canada considering 2 (or more?) of our largest provinces just pulled American wine from our liquor stores entirely.
Hot-Spread3565 on
Awesome!!!! Maybe australia will get reduced price on top shelf wines, but then again australia government will tax the shit out of imported wines,
Fuck the australia government for ultra high taxes on alcohol, its fucking obvious that the government has double standards with alcohol, they get reduced rates for alcohol consumption in parliament while they’re working (supposedly)

There‘s way too many bad US wines in European stores. You want to hit France wines, you should feel all of Europe‘s response. Boycott US wines. The stuff from Europe and Down Under is better anyway.

Germany exports way more wine than france… So this is mostly just because all Trump knows is Champagne

Good for me as European. French wine will always find its customers.
