Looking at the graph I thought it was going to be one of those 60M - 50M on the Y axis. Nope bottom is 0. That's an insane drop
I bet the only remaining sales are in Saskatchewan and Alberta who have governments who have said fuck it.
BC here. We’ve stopped buying American wine though that wasn’t a common occurrence anyway. Now we’re buying primarily BC wines, with some imported from countries that aren’t America.
Americans have no idea how good they had it under Biden. But they will know how awful things will be under Trump.
Keep it up, guys.
Don't worry we're gonna blame Biden anyway
And his son! /s
... you didn't need that "/s"
Keeping that elbow up with the fantastic Canadian wines and beers we have.
They are different beasts. BC has a less ideal climate and slightly shorter season. Your beer is great while your wines are less reliable at this point. Climate change will alter this but right now this is the case.
Portugal has the best QPR in wine IMO
Source: 30 years in the alcohol business.
The thing about buying Portugese (or other nationality) wines is it still boycotts America.
I live in Niagara and I'll be the first to say that vqa wines are not all that.
But I'd rather get a vqa, or other Canadian wine, over supporting the USA and their tariffs.
They're certainly not bad, but they're also not "all that" either. I'll happily keep buying Canadian. I'll probably keep that up after the tariffs because I like supporting our economy, instead of sending all my dollars over to the USA for the same thing we can make here.
Best wine I have ever had was decades ago, it was called Unity Wine. It was a joint venture between a BC Oganagan wine producer and a Niagara producer, where they blended their products. Here is one blend. https://www.cellartracker.com/m/wines/107991
I mean, we have the option to buy the table wine from a Canadian winery and an occasional fancy bottle from somewhere in Europe. Keep it up!
Yes, stupid trumponians don't understand that some things are extremely easy to substitute. Alcohol is one of such things.
Make it drop to zero alongside our tourism. Make Americans pay for not opposing fascists sooner when they had a better chance.
More!
Murican here. France and Italy have much better wines anyway, and they're still much better than California wines even if they cost twice as much. Wished we could get BC wines here in Washington state.
Nice, very nice.
Does that mean that we only buy ~$40m of US wine per month? Or we did, before the stupidity.
I assumed the number would be much higher.
