Is your favorite European wine or beer about to get 200% more expensive?
On Thursday morning, President Trump took to Truth Social to threaten massive 200% tariffs on “all WINES, CHAMPAGNES, & ALCOHOLIC PRODUCTS COMING OUT OF FRANCE AND OTHER E.U. REPRESENTED COUNTRIES.
Trump has spent the last few months teasing, delaying, imposing – and occasionally even retreating from – big taxes on friends and foes alike: a 25% tariff on certain Canadian and Mexican imports here, two rounds of 10% tariffs on Chinese goods there.
How much Trump’s liquor tariffs could cost 2 giant liquor producers
The bottom-line outlook is more than just a little blurry for liquor makers if a trade war on alcohol commences.
Trump has threatened a 200% tariff on European wine, champagne, and spirits if the European Union moves forward with a 50% tariff on American whiskey. The EU’s tariff was unveiled in response to new steel and aluminum tariffs by the Trump administration and is expected to go into effect on April 1.
A Tariff On Imported Alcohol Could Be Good for American Brands
President Trump said last week that there could end up being tariffs on alcoholic beverages imported into the United States.
It’s estimated that the tariff could be as high as 200%, and that might mean greatly reduced sales on imported liquor, especially wines, champagnes and beers, but it could also be a boon to some widely overlooked brands that are made in the USA.

Having a Cash Price and a Card Price is
A Win-Win!
(for you and customers)
A Minimum of 50 MN Liquor Stores are getting $3,000, $5,000, $10,000 in Credit Card Fees back a month with Dual Pricing
The other thing all of these stores have in common is that they are all over the State, none of them waited for someone else near them to “do it first”. They are saving the huge business expense of CC fees and they haven’t looked back.
What could you do with another $3,000+ in profit a month, and erasing your ongoing POS and support costs like these stores are?
“Hi Gary
Hope all is well. Everything has been going well with Dual Pricing. Had a few comments but nothing to lose sleep over. We have saved close to $25,000.00 over the last 6 months. I have given my employees raises and been able to keep my prices lower than most of the competition around me. Wish I had made the switch a year ago.
Thanks again! Joe – Good Time Liquors”
