The European Union, one of the most hostile and abusive taxing and tariffing authorities in the World, which was formed for the sole purpose of taking advantage of the United States, has just put a nasty 50% Tariff on Whisky. If this Tariff is not removed immediately, the U.S. will shortly place a 200% Tariff on all WINES, CHAMPAGNES, & ALCOHOLIC PRODUCTS COMING OUT OF FRANCE AND OTHER E.U. REPRESENTED COUNTRIES. This will be great for the Wine and Champagne businesses in the U.S.
All the US Champagne businesses must be so excited. Don’t let little things like the fact that Champagne means it comes from Champagne in France stand in the way of the US businesses…
There are plenty of California Champagnes. The US is not a part of the Treaty of Versailles which enforces the Champagne designation, so the rules don’t apply there.

We are the dumbest fucking country.
