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.

Not a single mention about the threats of economic strangulation and annexation.
Dear American cousins, tarrifs, while backstabbing the best ally anyone has ever had, are your perogative. Your country, your borders, your rules. Sure we will stand up for ourselves and counter tarrif, but that is just business.
Threatening annexation is what has caused for many a lifelong change. The interviewee who said that “even if everything returned to normal tomorrow, it would take a year to recover” missed the point badly. Canadians are a friendly bunch, but once burned like this will never set foot in you country again for a lifetime and will make the consumer boycot for life. I am one of them.
Even if trump is gone, the dems sweep and get universal healthcare, and become a shiny happy prosperous place, I am done with America. I don’t deal with backstabbers. There may be a time when our countries can heal and reconcile. I will be dead before that time comes. This is generational fuckery and America will reap what it sows.
As an American, I’m sorry, but good. Every single country needs to stand up to the idiots that enabled the fascists to take over our country. We need to feel pain before we learn it seems.
Damn. Fucking. Right. Bud.
I get your sentiment, but aren’t you just being a tad bit melodramatic? Lol.
No. Perfectly and absolutely serious.
No. I assume you’re American?
Not even close.
Fuck all Americans. You did this, you aren’t stopping this.
Epic level of world harm from a country that expects exception for its internal politics while the world watches its kids die and borders flood with guns while you threaten economically and militarily under the guise of national security and a fucking suitcase worth of fentanyl.
But it’s GREED AND HATE. That’s Americas export, and you aren’t making us buy it you’re trying to fucking force it on other countries. Asking the UK to abandon LGBTQ+ rights over trade? A sovereign fucking free country? FUCK YOU ALL.
Fuck me haha. If the other dude was being melodramatic, you’re down right hyperbolic. Fuck all Americans, really? Not every American did this. Almost half of people who voted did vote against Trump for one. And people have also been protesting and resisting.
To be fair, that entire industry, wines about everything.
:rimshot:
Let me salt it first before you lick it.
Might wanna google that word
It was a bad joke, I still think it’s funny though. People need a sense of humor.
I didn’t understand the joke. Still don’t actually
“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.
Awesome stat. They can get fucked.
Even if it were still on the shelf, it’s not going to be bought.
I see this as an absolute win for freedom & democracy.
Farmers are currently in the “Finding Out” stage unfortunately. They were warned.
Sorry America, but your administration has decided you need to suffer. You should do something about that.
Until then, borders closed. We aren’t visiting or buying your crap.
Trump’s tariffs lowering the US wine industry’s sales is just preparation for his environmental policies lowering their production by making it harder to grow grapes. It’ll all balance out eventually.
Guess they should have thought about that before voting…or should have actually voted!
But I kept hearing that the US doesn’t need Canada?

Come for us and we won’t go easily like your citizens.
Art of the deal.
Fuck murica. They dont need us!
I want to know how they voted before I feel sorry for them. . . That being said, I did notice my usual brand of wine went up by $2 a bottle this month. Guess they are trying to make up for this mess.
Good!
Shame.
