America's struggling wine industry is getting crushed by global tariffs and Canada's retaliation to them
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.”
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.

Guess they should have thought about that before voting....or should have actually voted!
Californians?
There's a lot of wine country in Eastern Washington, Idaho, and Oregon, too. Rural areas with rural voters. Walla Walla county went hard for Trump, even though he lost statewide.
More towards America as a whole. We all know how California votes so it's not on them that's for sure. But they sure are suffering from the election outcome that's for sure and it really sucks.
The people that make wine in california vote conservative. The cities are liberal but rural is very red.
Good. Maybe it will make them stand up to their tyrannical dictator. That's what this is all about.
Unavoidable. It's impossible to only support states that didn't vote for Trump, so we all have to suffer.
Yup. Exactly why it sucks for all the people in the states who didn't vote for this shit show. During his first term I kept buying American products mainly fruits and vegetables that came from blue states. Not this time around. A loud and clear message needs to be sent, especially when the Cheeto thinks he can just take over other countries
I approve. The world needs to make us a pariah. No dealing with fascist governments!
