Overview:
The community dedicated to boycotting the US until they stop fascism, restore full democracy and start following international law.
Americans have a moral obligation to resist Donald Trump and project 2025 at every turn.
America is a flawed democracy currently being ruled by oligarchs. Stop the backslide! Dont let America become the next Hungary.
America needs to challenge the court rulings of citizens united v. fec and shelby county v. holder, protect the media, implement independent district drawing, and the single transferable vote so they don't end up having people stay home in life-changing elections because they cannot vote for their favourite candidate.

The US is a massive producer of wines and exported over 200 million liters in 2024.
Then you have beer, bourbon, Smirnoff (as mentioned by other comments)
~~>The EU remains the dominant market for U.S. spirits, accounting for approximately 50% of all exports at $1.2 billion. The top five export markets in 2024 were: the European Union ($1.2 billion), Canada ($221 million), the United Kingdom ($137 million), Australia ($131 million), and Mexico ($126 million).>~~
I wish they produced worse wines because that's my personal trap.
Can't fish out the text but here is a shoddy picture to show the imports
That might be, but it is not supported by the quote you provide after.
So those countries are exporting TO the USA, not importing from them in the context of the quote.
Oh yes sorry! Thanks for pointing it out!
Ah no, you mistook my message. Your second quote was correct about exports from the USA, the first one about the wine was about export into the USA.
I’m a bit surprised Italy and France are such big importers of wine. One would think they produce so much wine, they would consume their own.
I will say California wines are amazing. IMO usually better than French or Italian wines. But maybe I am biased being Californian and having so much exposure to great local wines.
Maybe we can secede the union and the world can enjoy our wines again 😢
california and the east coast has good climate for the wine grapes.
What east coast wines do you recommend? I’ve had Florida wines before, and they are not so great. Some from Georgia are ok.
It's export wine selling on the prestige of the country. They want California wine as much as everyone else.
