Winemakers finding Trump's tariffs hard to swallow
French winemakers in Burgundy, including Domaine Cecile Tremblay, are feeling the impact of Donald Trump's tariffs, which threaten to price European wines out of the American market. Trump first imposed a 10% tariff on nearly all EU products, later lowering it from a threatened 20%. The potential 50% tariff on all EU goods could severely impact Burgundy's wine exports, which saw an increase in sales to the US before the tariffs were imposed. Winemakers fear a return to previous export slumps if the situation escalates.
