President Trump's proposed 200% tariffs on European wines and alcoholic beverages are a response to the EU's tariffs on American whiskey. While Trump claims this would benefit U.S. wine businesses, industry insiders argue it could actually hurt them. The interconnected nature of the wine industry means that harming European wine sales could ultimately reduce opportunities for American producers as well, impacting small businesses reliant on a broader wine market. Veteran producers emphasize that the real damage lies in disrupting an established infrastructure vital to American wineries.
It's not clear who will benefit if President Trump follows through on his threat to impose 200 percent tariffs on all wines and alcoholic beverages from the European Union, but it certainly would not be American consumers.
If you deplete those funds from the equation, you reduce the opportunity to buy wines from other places. You're not just hurting European wines, you're hurting the chances of Americans to buy American wines.
