WineMakers Trump’s tariffs are hard to find

Burgundy is one of the most influential wine areas in France and the United States is the largest export market. However, now Donald Trump tariffs threaten the price of European wine, which rose from the American market.

Tip in cold mud under a thin spring rain, grapes garden employee Élodie bonet, fingers and pruning scissors are unwanted vines.

“We want all the energy of grapes to put the flowers in the shoots to grow the vines,” he said.

I meet in the ranks of grapes and go to the house and home and winemaker and go to the wine village of Watere-Saint-Denus, here and winemaker here and winemaker.

The oak barrels with oak and age-covered stickers and some murder wines that stand between old windows lead to the basement to taste.

Wine lovers have the names that are weak in the knees – Nuits-Saint-Georges, Echezeaux, Vosne-Romanée, Clos Vougeot and Chapelle-Campantin.

Mrs. Tremblay sells more than half of the wine outside, Domaine Cecile Tremblay.

“There are about 10% of production for the United States; This is a great production for me!” Says.

After 200% of the Marqual March, Donald Trump was practically applied to all European Union products on April 5 after Europe.

Four days later, it reduced this to 10% in July, which increased by 20% in July, depending on how trade talks. Now Trump threatens the future tariff for all EU goods for 50%.

If I worry, I ask MS tremblay. “Yes, sure,” says, says “Everyone.”

But this is what will be said about the issue. French winemakers were afraid to say something that could aggravate the situation, and then they walk in egg shells.

Maybe they will be closer to their representatives? I am in my car and slide on one of their neighbors – François Labet. Burgundy, who represents 3,500 wineries in this region, is the President of the Wine Council.

“The United States is the largest export market for the whole region. Definitely,” he says. “They are the biggest and greatest value in volume.”

The US market has developed until Donald Trump’s re-election. Global exports of French wines and spirits Last year dropped 4%The sale of dark red wines in the United States has increased sharply.

In terms of volume, There were 16% From 2024 to 20.9 million glasses. This is 370 million euros ($ 415 million; £ 312 m; 312 million), 26.2% higher since 2023.

Mr. Labet said the United States organized a wine exports of about a quarter of about a quarter of last year.

Burgundy’s reputation abroad is for red wines made from mainly mentioned Pinot Noir. Indeed, in the English-language world, Burgundy is a wine like a color.

French word Bordeaux for the same color; It shows that they know more about the wine, because Bordeaux wines are mostly red and two-thirds of the red, dark red.

These are mostly made of Chardonnay vine. One of the most popular examples, the Cableis is extremely popular in the United States.

Burgundy, Crémant de Bourgogne and a small amount of Rosé produces an increasingly successful wine.

While all this consumption of dark red wine consumption continues to decline, white, white holds and strongly strengthens.

In addition, the reddish from Burgundy, according to Mr. Laketin, as they are increasingly, they are usually more light than the new world red.

“It’s interesting to see, there is a strong consumption that we call the big reds prepared in the United States. Many alcohol wines in the new tree.”

In Burgundy, less sun and low temperatures, even with climate change, it means less sugar in vines and alcohol.

Mr. Labet remembers that the first presidential was hit by a 25% import tariff in Donald Trump in Donald Trump.

“We took this situation hostage and really affected our sales to the United States. We have about 50% of our exports to the United States.”

As for the current 10% Trump tariff, it is forecasting that French wine producers and US merchants will share the value of a new import duty to protect the sale of US merchants.

But what will be the influence of Trump in July when all the European Union decided to increase the exports of the European Union to 20%? “We will return to the 2019 situation in the market,” said Mr. Labett.

For French wines, things can be worse.

“The President Trump has increased 25% of the first mandate for one and a half a mandate of the first mandate, we lost about $ 600 million (£ 450 million),” said French National Wines and the President of the Alcohol Confederation Jerome Bauer.

“However, no return was included, and what wines were not stronger than 14 degrees. Thus, you can see the scale of danger today.”

Solution Mr. Bauer support is free trade. There are no tariffs. But when it comes to his words and the wine and spirits of Europe, you will say, saying that he has used a large trade surplus with the United States.

More surprisingly, perhaps the opinion of American rivals in California and Oregon is the opinion of something that thinks that you can think of a little special thing you can think of.

“It looks terrible from our perspective. We do not like a little.

“Wine is an international product. In the Napa Valley, winemaking, wines, primarily from France, the main component of winery, oak barrels, oak barrels.

Mr. Stoltz adds: “They will be more expensive and potential already.”

Both trade wars cut both ways. He says that the tariffs declared against Canada have a devastating effect on US wine exports.

“Canada is the most important export market for California wines and is one of the best export markets for Napa Valley wines. Currently there are zero Napa Valley wines on the shelves of stores in Canada.

“They pulled out all American alcoholic beverage products from the store shelves!”

Mr. Stoltz adds: “We just want to compete with our friends and neighbors even in a playing field. This is our hope.”
