We exported more last year to the United States than the UK and EU combined, and the growth in the sector was also US heavy.

Why on earth would anyone in the EU be buying California wine? Seriously, the only people hurt by this will the ones exporting alcohol from the USA. There is a fantastic selection of European Wines, spirits and beers.

Good! Maybe with the population more sober they learn how to vote! If it works, maybe we should try it here too, see if we ditch our own clowns as well 😂 /s

He’s absolutely doing this because in 2021, Biden’s government negotiated a deal between the EU and US that saw the end of an alcohol trade war between the two. A trade war that Trump started in 2019.
Trump’s signature move in taking over, is to completely steamroll everything his predecessor did, regardless of whether it’s necessary.
This is part of that move.
Whiskey distilleries in the EU and US are going to suffer the most from this. Looking at the numbers, it’s fucking mental how much whiskey people apparently drink. It accounts for about 40% of our total alcohol exports.

Retaliatory tariffs to retaliatory tariffs. The US is likely heading for a serious recession.
As an aside, it’s fantastic that McGregor with his Proper 12 shite supported this clown.

That will be the midleton distillery expansion well and truly shelved so and many others with big exports to the USA.
Hopefully some sense is talked into him. These sorts of antics were a significant part of causing the great depression.

Wake up we pay €7.99 a bottle of wine that costs €2.79 in the exact same supermarket chain in many other parts of Europe… Pot kettle black

I don’t see how these tariffs on wine, champagne, steel, and aluminum will affect us in Ireland at all.
Unless he starts slapping tariffs on pharmaceuticals, which I doubt he will plus Irish products will still be significantly cheaper than U.S. alternatives.

That’s it, lads. We’re fucked.
Can’t see Americans paying $30 for a pint of Guinness.

Kentucky right now.
I thought champagne can only come from france?
Hold on Trump. You thick cunt.
EU put tariffs on AFTER you added tariffs to steel and aluminium.
What. A fuckin. Pesticide..
He’s a fuckin clown. And him mentioning another fuckin Irish clown i.e. Mcgregor yesterday sums it up…..
Is he bluffing about 200% tariffs on wine?
You bet Shiraz he isn’t..
What’s our US export like for drink? I hear Canadians might have a gap in the market to fill..
Imagine having to choose between Budweiser and a Guinness. Shudders
fine, then we will drink it alone. with blackjack and H00krs.
One positive is it will be the death of Forged Irish Stout
Give it a few hours and he’ll reverse it. What a dumb fucking arsehole, I am sicccckkkkk of reading about him
Still cheaper than the minimum pricing I swear
Will the price of Guinness go up (even fucking more) seeing Diageo is a yank company?
According to the [2024 Bord Bia](https://www.bordbia.ie/industry/insights/performance-and-prospects/export-performance-prospects-2025/) report Irish drink exports to America account for 41% of exports in the sector worth €845 million.
