Winemakers finding Trump’s tariffs hard to swallow

Burgundy, a prestigious wine region in France, faces challenges as Donald Trump’s tariffs threaten to impact its largest export market, the US. Vineyard owners like Cécile Tremblay express concern over the potential 10% to 50% tariffs on European wines, which could severely affect their sales, especially after a previous 25% tariff led to a 50% drop in exports. François Labet, president of the Burgundy Wine Board, highlights that despite a booming market, any tariff increase could halt trade, echoing the struggles faced during Trump’s first term.
