All this has received, the President Trump has many Brunellos by President Trump began to vibrate a 200 percent tariff to introduce a 200 percent tariff for transportation of many Brunellos, CHiants.

In the most popular wine exporter of Italy, thousands of glasses for American tables, Wineries in the “cold basements of Wineries, or in Livorno city, located in the port city.

“Everything is stopped,” said Tiziana Mazzetti, a winning city of Tosco in Tosco, which is among the boxes of wine bottles, which should leave this month for the United States, sales and marketing manager. “The damage is already here.”

So far, Mr. Trump’s threat is only. However, Jittery is enough for some of American importers to make potential payment tariffs to make the wine unavailable and not worth others. Tariffs must be applied and a total of $ 20 bottle will cost 60 dollars.

In connection with France and Spain, Italy and Europe are most exposed to America’s wine shores, and many 200 percent of the tariff will be destructive. For about 15 years, Italy has been the largest export market for US wines. Italy will be sent to America every quarter or about $ 2 billion in wine exports.

Throughout the rolling hills of Tuscany, with olive gardens and wealthy lined country roads, this attitude feels especially strong.

For decades, Toscan-Fidcecting, American English, importers in the highlighted Italian, flocked to Tuscany to return the bassas of the famous CHiants and Brunellos to the desks of America and restaurants. American wine lovers only after signs called “US + European Free Shipping” for only Wine export to wine export

Perhaps not for a longer period.

Giancarlo Pacenti, the slope of Montalcino’s medieval city of the city, in addition to Montalcino, as described the fears for the future, was deprived of the award received by American wine magazines.

Mr. Pacenti, who inherited his father’s winch, visited the United States several times a year. The wine – Sangiovese’s vines and french oak, the barrels of the oak – from the middle of the 1990s from the Atlantic. The strong American demand helped to develop his work, and now sells 40 percent of the wine to importers in the United States.

But now importers say it will lead to more transportation.

“A pole crashes.” “We will never expect to find a closed door where we are definitely freedom.”

Some manufacturers have recently said that the threat of tariffs added to other VOs, including other woes Increase in alcoholic wines, beer and spirits.

On the other side of the ocean, importers, the uncertainty of the growing global trade war, the unknown, which is caused by the sea crawling transport, said that the tariffs can come to customs after taking effect.

“Tariffs may be 200 percent,” said Brian Larky, Mr. Pacenti, located in the Napa Valley in California. “That’s what to stop you in your tracks.”

Importers responsible for paying tariffs, customers can pass the cost, but undoubtedly reduces sales. They also managed to remove the value of tariffs, wiping their earnings or earn some of the manufacturers, and scored. However, with 200 percent tariffs, “We all would end unemployment,” Montepulciano won Mazzetti.

Mr. Trump announced the intention of applying crushing tariffs On March 13, European wine and champagne and champagne. The block replied Mr. Trump’s American Wisci “Muntar Visky” with 50 percent of “filthy”, which exited France and other countries in the absence of whiskey tariffs, and alcohol products from other countries.

The European Union has since this time said that this tariff will delay To give the officials more time to agree with the Trump Office.

Mr. Trump, “For Wine and Champagne Business in the United States” will be excellent for alcohol products, but it may not be simple. For most wine manufacturers in the United States, Sales trust small businesses – Distributors, retailers and restorologists – this depends on the sale of partially European wines.

“It is necessary in Italian restaurants in Italian wines,” he said, Mr. Larky imported about five million glass Italian wines in the United States. “People do not intend to replace the wines from a Brunello or Barolo – from La Loire, Chablis or Tuscany – a Brunello or Barolo – Chile.”

This week, some American tourists agreed because they walked around the Montalcino, who ignored the vineyard valley this week.

“It would be a big loss,” said Dave Whitmer, 74, a retired doctor in Spain, prefers the professionalist, Italian and French wines. “I grew up drinking American wine,” he said. “But I grew up.”

Other American tourists said they ordered hundreds of glass wines from local wineries during the strike before taking into force of any tariff.

“I told you to send them right away.”

Some manufacturers first serve the American warehouses with glass, if the tariffs do not enter into force, they say the window is closed mainly.

“Our biggest customers have already sent letters to Italian producers,” he said. “We cannot give this uncertainty, glass and ship.”

Bourgogne Wine Board, a trade union in France, a trade union and the Spanish Wine Association also saw a similar trend, and some cargo was caught by importers.

Ben Grossberg, which imports Portuguese wine to the United States, said he has canceled the last container 15 minutes before the storage in Portugal. “The risk of putting wine into the water is very large,” he said.

Some importers with higher tolerance for risk have still ordered, but Mr. Freskobaldi, tariffs, in fact, “would be a deadly blow to the industry.”

He said, “The American market,” he said.

Tuscans have said that the European Union is still hoping that Mr. Trump may return Mr. Trump. Although the trade war cools, many casualties in Tuscany and elsewhere can not be returned to at least some of the losses within uncertainty.

Laura Mayr, the General Manager of the Prophother, in the northern Italian, said that during the year, he and the staff organized promotion and taste for American importers. But they stopped.

“Damage is already made” said Mrs. Mayr. “We have lost time at a time.”
