Unfortunately the vast majority of wine produced in the United States is in California, followed by New York, Washington, and Oregon, all very blue states (source). Granted the farmers themselves are likely Republicans (as most rural folks are), but this still isn't quite the "punish the US" effect like boycotting, say, American whiskey (primarily produced in Kentucky, Tennessee, and a variety of other mostly red states) would be.
But arguably, it's not really about punishing the US - our economy is too small to really accomplish that.
It's about divesting ourselves of their influence. It's about turning our back on them and living with the rest of the world instead. And wherever possible, it's about making and buying our own products first.
I'm European and this is how I feel about it as well. I try to turn my boycott into something positive. Now I support my local economy more and I've turned away from big tech to more ethical FOSS as much as I could.
