It's only a tariff on champagne if it's on products from the Champagne region of France. Otherwise, it's just sparkling pettiness.
@davidho People really do need to understand that the man can NOT be reasoned with. Make him happy enough to back off today, he changes his mind tomorrow. In the short term, we (the rest of the world) are going to feel it, but the US will not have tariffs by one clown show of a country but on everything that gets imported into the US. The orange rapist is going to learn first-hand how much the US depends on the rest of the world, which, sadly hurts all the people he's supposed to protect.
@davidho "Sparkling whine" was right there.
@davidho If US wine becomes the target of Canadian and Mexican sanctions, we could clean up with compensatory sales.
France & Germany would love to have a crack at the Canadian market, I suspect Spain would like to get into Mexico.
@davidho Exactly!!
@davidho European vintners should buy some of the better lesser-known vineyards in USA and rebrand them with their imprimaturs. Not a bad idea anyhow. Good wine is grown in western Pennsylvania, for example.
Let's impose a 400 percent tariff on Coca & Pepsi then.
Let's just boycott them; even more efficient.
Orangina is japanese owned, btw., like the largest U.S. bourbon producer, Beam Inc. (producers of Jim Beam)
