I personally love that they retalitory tarrifs on spirits are specifically targetting tennessee whiskey and kentucky bourbon. Hit those deep red states and maybe change a few minds.

Im low key on board with rednecks with guns and a drinking problem getting real pissed over this one

I know some die-hard maga boomers who are going to fucking hate this one, but they will blame France. Then they will just find a way around it like they do for Cuban Cigars.

Hey seriously EU I would not object if you just decided to stop buying shit from us. I encourage you to boycott us. This is the dumbest fucking shit.

do people really buy French wine in america?

I knew some high end restaurant operators recently and they were largely focusing on local and regional bottles. I’m not seeing French wines in like Walmart or grocery stores.

I know quite a few people who go to France once a year specifically to buy wine and wine futures. There are a lot of them.
