You are not threatening France, you are threatening the EU. And the EU will retaliate. You are targeting France.
You mean, he threatened them with giving us all a “tax cut” on such items?
No more Champagne at $100, drink Crystal bubblies for $200 a bottle!
No more French Pinot Noir, everyone do the Zinfandel!
Or perhaps just switch to boxes of USA wine only, glass bottles are too eco friendly anyway :-D
I rather not support buying from my country and give this guy a helping hand. Just like I do drinking domestic beer. Ireland and Germany is making $ from me.
Pretty sure that just hurts rich people. Do it!
Nope, this hurts tons of people in the alcohol industry. Im working class and this will kill my job at a wine importer.
Wine hasn’t been a rich person’s thing for a while now.
It’s probably going to hurt everybody. I’m guessing margins on wine are greater than margins on regular groceries. Fewer purchases of wine could mean higher prices on staples to make up the difference.
Not on the importing end they aren’t. Groceries can have massive markups but thats usually shelf stable stuff to offset produce’s losses/shrinkage.
:(
Yup, my sales team is freaking out as many are older and losing a job in your sixties is very bad.
I’m in the automotive industry. One supplier in Mexico is our largest and you cannot get it made in the US due to EPA. My company is performance auto accessories so it’s a want not a need. And a dying industry. I feel your pain.
Hmm…didn’t have “republican threatens to tax the rich” on my card for 2025 🤔
