Wine Is In Danger

As I wrote my 2020 drinking resolutions, one thing stayed on my mind: Drinking champagne and wine might become more expensive than in previous years.

The current administration is threatening to levy a 100% tariff against all European countries importing wine into the US. This comes after a 25% tariff was levied in October against the UK, Spain, Germany, and France (this didn’t include champagne).

I won’t get into the politics of this, but clearly this very problematic for the wine industry as well as those that love wine. If the prices go up, chances are they’ll never go back down (looking at you airlines). This is not good.

What can you do?

1) Stay informed and let other winos know what’s happening.
2) Send a letter to your representative using this easy form.
