Chris Stauffenegger, owner of Vigneron Imports, expresses deep concern over the proposed 200% tariffs on European wine announced by the Trump administration. These tariffs, stemming from trade tensions over U.S. whiskey tariffs, could devastate the wine sector in the U.S., where the majority of imported wine comes from Europe. Stauffenegger highlights the unpredictable nature of political decisions but emphasizes the potential for these tariffs to push her and many other small businesses out of the market, underscoring the serious impact on small family winemakers relying on American consumers.
It's beyond asinine and insane, but as usual, it's so unpredictable and it's just a massive bully move, she said.
Should the tariffs go through, it's very likely it would put us out of business, she said.
