Scotch and Irish whiskey are not the only alcohols that will feel 200 % tariff pain on European-made products-so will you have favorite bottles of keyboards and chewy.
Alcohol, which already dealt with one 8 % drop Last year, US sales occurred another week, when President Donald Trump threatened another period of prices imposed in April.
“The majority will struggle to handle these additional costs,” said Francis Curton, CEO of US liquor and spirits wholesalers. “At the end of the day, if these rates were implemented, only our industry would not hurt – they would directly raise prices for US consumers.”
The trade organization warned that the import of alcohol and spirits contains 35 % of US sales income in the alcohol market, which means that if tariffs are in effect, all aspects of cocktail and alcohol in the restaurant have been ordered in the restaurant or purchased in retailers.
“Some consumers will be at home with the growing costs, hurting bartenders, servers and other bar and restaurant workers who rely on customer traffic for suggestions and shift hours,” Kirton said.
If prices are implemented, drinkers may have to transfer their allegiance to US -made alcohol.
“I believe that some (alcohol) purest won’t agree with me, but I definitely think that you can find almost anything in Europe, you can find a huge equal here in the United States.” JuliotTold CNN.
One of the reasons for this is the diverse climate and soil of the United States, he said.
“When you have such a big country, where we can produce alcohol, it has a lot of diversity, you will inevitably get pockets that meet the growing regions of alcohol in Europe.”
For example, during the “Paris decision” in 1976, Napa Valley, California’s wines won both red and white categories, which defeated Bordeaux and Bergundi’s legendary Chitox and Domains in the Blind Taste Test. Since then, the American equal fame of Red Burgundy wine made in East France has increased.
Wine drinks like a red burgundy and a white burgundy should look for a pinnot nair and a four -folds respectively. Louvira said there are “exactly stand out areas” in the United States that make wine “match and profile for French counterparts”-for example, Willemite Valley, located in Oregon, especially the Eola Amety hills, who are “pouring wines that are out of France.”
In California, in California, Sonoma’s Russian valley and especially in the Santa Rita hills in Santa Barbara, with the French city of Bergundy, “there are similarities between some of the areas that rise and the west coastal wine.”
Drinks in Central France can refer to the white wine, the drinking flavor of the Sancheri. A Swagan Blank made on the California coast of California as the grapes grow in the same climate with the French.
Beyond California, Louvira pointed to Wrestling to white wines everywhere, from Finger Leaks in New York, which is “incredible microorganism that is very similar to some cold climate in Europe, whether it be Germany, Austria, or some parts of France, such as Lower Valley.”
Perhaps the only wine that does not have one -on -one comparison is the champagne, which can only be made in specific areas of France. However, here are the shining wine makers who use the same methods and grapes used in France, Laura said, pointing to the turns of the California -based Sharmonsburg.
“If anyone wants to find an alternative to the champagne here, he would like to find a shining wine made in the United States, which is called ‘traditional method’,” he said.
Finally, since we are changing in hot months and the “éé every day” will inevitably look at the outskirts of our favorite wine bars, so Louvira has an American -made alternative to French -made pink wine.
To get the same light, accessible, delicious style “, such as roses, can look at the California, especially the Central Coast, and anything that is made of granuch,” he said referring to a variety of grapes that is widely used in wine and is in France.
According to a Morning Star Note, the US imports about $ 5.4 billion worth of alcohol from the European Union, adding that “with such a wide and valuable trade relationship, tariffs can have a materially negative impact on both markets.”
Louvira knows that Juliet is standing to take advantage of alcohol prices, which aims to buy US consumers to buy US -made products. But Louvira said they are against prices because the liquor industry is “integrated with distributors, retailers and restaurants.”
“Everyone will have a negative impact, whether indirectly or directly, if it comes into action.”
Although his company may experience a short -term lift in sales, Juliet alcohol eventually depends on distributors, retailers and other partners. He said that the prices would have a flow of domestic producers, even if it, as individual brands, were not affected. “
France is also paniced at the arrival prices. Perry Gont, a liquor maker of the CNN -related CNN in Paris, said that if Trump implemented the prices, he would “run away from us all our rocks”.
He added that the industry “is still hoping that our leaders will be able to interfere and calm Mr Trump so that the champagne is shampained.”
