Let's be real though, America makes shit wine.

The European Union, which was formed for the primary purpose of taking advantage of the United States on TRADE, has been very difficult to deal with. Their powerful Trade Barriers, Vat Taxes, ridiculous Corporate Penalties, Non-Monetary Trade Barriers, Monetary Manipulations, unfair and unjustified lawsuits against Americans Companies, and more, have led to a Trade Deficit with the U.S. of more than $250,000,000 a year, a number which is totally unacceptable. Our discussions with them are going nowhere! Therefore, I am recommending a straight 50% Tariff on the European Union, starting on June 1, 2025. There is no Tariff if the product is built or manufactured in the United States. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

In broad strokes, I agree. In Europe, wine culture was sufficiently ingrained through the millenia to fight off the race to zero from this fiat interregnum. Wine in the USA only really entered the world stage at the same time as fiat. There is way more shit wine in the USA, but there is definitely good wine too.

Indeed, just an industry age thing I'm 100% sure you'd find a great white wine or some good reds too, but craftsmanship and honing in on barreling and stowage and that just takes time. I wouldn't trust a European whiskey though,
