U.S. wine export market struggling after Canada ‘pulled the plug,’ expert says

After U.S. President Donald Trump announced a series of tariffs targeting Canadian goods earlier this year, Canada was quick to respond with retaliatory measures aimed at American sectors that rely on exports north of the border, one of which was the wine industry.

The result was a 93 per cent drop in American wine exports to Canada in April, the biggest year-over-year decline in decades. Since Canada is the largest buyer of exported U.S. wines, the ongoing trade dispute has plunged the industry into crisis, according to one expert.

“Wine firms here in the U.S. thought that a tariff on (imported) goods, including wine from Canada, would be a boon, but it has turned out the other way around,” Karl Storchmann, executive director of the American Association of Wine Economists, told BNN Bloomberg in a Wednesday interview.
“Canada pulled the plug and the exports of U.S. wine to Canada are virtually down to zero or they’re closing in on zero… and exports to Canada account for more than a third of all U.S. exports by value, and that is massive.”

...

Storchmann said Canadian purchasers of U.S. wine tend to buy premium products from high-end producers in California – and lots of it.

“Canada is a very, very important market for upscale wine and it’s in enormous quantities. The premium wine markets are Canada and China,” he said.

American wine exports to China, the third largest purchaser of U.S. wine, also took a hit in April, as Beijing and Washington were in the midst of a trade war of their own. China bought 30.5 per cent less American wine in April than it did in the same month in 2024.

Thanks in part to their idiocy Trump is now in the White House. And I hate to tell them this, but Trump is not only not going to listen to them, if they're Muslim Americans he might very well sic ICE on them and see if he can deport some of them. If they keep this up they're going to enter the FAFO stage very quickly.

They've been in the FAFO stage since December. Remember that pathetic video where one of the organizers was like, "help, Joe Biden! Trump is nominating Huckabee to be ambassador to Israel!"

I have a former coworker who is a lesbian (she's in her mid-thirties and is on her third or fourth marriage. Her first marriage, before she announced she was a lesbian, was to a man and she had a daughter with him, the others have all been to women). I'm friends with her on facebook (don't interact with her much anymore) and she posts pro-Trump, right-wing crap all the time on there. She served in the military for a few years and her wives have all been active-duty military personnel. She claims her pro-Trump stance is because she loves the military and sees Democrats as anti-veteran (I know, I know) and I suspect it's also underlaid with some anti-black racism, even though she's also Hispanic. There is a group called Log Cabin Republicans which promotes gay rights, but at this point it does seem wildly self-defeating to be a LGBTQ person and still vote Republican. You might as well be voting to cut your own throat, imo.
