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.
Looking at the graph I thought it was going to be one of those 60M - 50M on the Y axis. Nope bottom is 0. That's an insane drop
Same here. That's crazy!
Wine is also so easy and cheap to make at home. The only reason to buy commercial wines is if you're picky about the specific flavours. How many people do you know that are that picky? Pretty much everyone I know enjoys some wine on occasion and not a single one of them care about what kind of wine is served.
Fabulous.
BC here. We’ve stopped buying American wine though that wasn’t a common occurrence anyway. Now we’re buying primarily BC wines, with some imported from countries that aren’t America.
Great 👍
BC has some amazing wines!
I bet the only remaining sales are in Saskatchewan and Alberta who have governments who have said fuck it.
Americans have no idea how good they had it under Biden. But they will know how awful things will be under Trump.
Keep it up, guys.
Don't worry we're gonna blame Biden anyway
And his son! /s
... you didn't need that "/s"
Keeping that elbow up with the fantastic Canadian wines and beers we have.
I live in Niagara and I'll be the first to say that vqa wines are not all that.
But I'd rather get a vqa, or other Canadian wine, over supporting the USA and their tariffs.
They're certainly not bad, but they're also not "all that" either. I'll happily keep buying Canadian. I'll probably keep that up after the tariffs because I like supporting our economy, instead of sending all my dollars over to the USA for the same thing we can make here.
I mean, we have the option to buy the table wine from a Canadian winery and an occasional fancy bottle from somewhere in Europe. Keep it up!
Best wine I have ever had was decades ago, it was called Unity Wine. It was a joint venture between a BC Oganagan wine producer and a Niagara producer, where they blended their products. Here is one blend. https://www.cellartracker.com/m/wines/107991
They are different beasts. BC has a less ideal climate and slightly shorter season. Your beer is great while your wines are less reliable at this point. Climate change will alter this but right now this is the case.
Portugal has the best QPR in wine IMO
Source: 30 years in the alcohol business.
The thing about buying Portugese (or other nationality) wines is it still boycotts America.
Yes, and you will get a solid bottle for less than buying a US wine.
Make it drop to zero alongside our tourism. Make Americans pay for not opposing fascists sooner when they had a better chance.
Hard to get to zero while Danielle Smith and the Albertan Assholes sell us out any chance they get to lick trumps boots and make a quick buck. (She returned US booze to shelves in AB after what, 12 days lol. shocking /s)
Yes, stupid trumponians don't understand that some things are extremely easy to substitute. Alcohol is one of such things.
More!
Murican here. France and Italy have much better wines anyway, and they're still much better than California wines even if they cost twice as much. Wished we could get BC wines here in Washington state.
Maybe we keep the good stuff in California, but in my wine drinking experience so far, French and Italian wines aren't noticeably better. In fact, all the best wines I've had have been Californian, but that could be because I got it at the winery itself.
Less demand for California wines means they're cheaper for me, that's not a bad thing in my book.
Stick it to us Canada, we sure fucking deserve it.
Nice, very nice.
Does that mean that we only buy ~$40m of US wine per month? Or we did, before the stupidity.
I assumed the number would be much higher.
