America's struggling wine industry is getting crushed by global tariffs and Canada's retaliation to them

Canada’s national ban on American-made wine and the Trump administration’s global tariffs have compounded the struggles of the United States’ already-stressed wine industry.

Canada’s break from American-made wine and the Trump administration’s global tariffs have compounded the struggles of the United States’ already-stressed wine industry to the point that it may be difficult for much of it “to come back from,” an American wine organization leader told NBC News. 

“Canada is the single most important export market for U.S. wines with retail sales in excess of $1.1 billion annually,” Robert Koch, the California Wine Institute’s president and CEO, said in a statement.  

Last month Canada united to boycott American wines — taking all U.S.-made vino and alcohol off its liquor and wine store shelves and out of restaurants across the country — as an aggressive retaliatory response to Trump’s tariffs on its political ally north of the border. 

The boycott started in Ontario, and every other province responded in kind. When Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew announced his territory would ban American wine and alcohol, he mocked Trump’s signing an executive order in a social media video. 

“This order, it’s a wonderful order, it’s a beautiful order,” Kinew said sarcastically. “This order is pulling American booze off the liquor market shelves.” His staff, lined up behind him, applauded as he held up the order for all to see.
