Boycott, eh? US exports of liquor and wine to Canada have plummeted by more than 60% in the first half of the year as furious Canucks snub American booze because of President Trump’s trade war.
Shipments of popular US-made whiskeys, rums, gins and other liquors through June to Canadian provinces was around $43.4 million, according to the Distilled Spirits Council — a 62% drop from the approximate $114 million during the same period last year.
Wine exports have suffered even more severely, falling approximately 67% based on federal trade statistics provided by the US trade group. The data was first reported by the Wall Street Journal. Canadian provinces, which control most alcohol importing and distribution in the country, have replaced popular American brands on store shelves with local alternatives after Trump slapped the northern neighbor with a 25% tariff on US imports.

I am pretty sure they meant that we spent $412 billion on Canadian goods and Canada spent $349 million on US goods.
In any event...they need us more than we need them.
Upon return from our lovely memorable epic summer vacation to New England, we brought back 1 L of Buzzballs (happy wife) & 1 L Makers Mark. What a great time in Maine and Mass. God Bless America from this Canuck.
All the canadians are sobering up... They are going to be p1ssed when they realize what their leaders have done to their country.
Will they boycott our Bud Lite, Miller Lite, Keystone Light, etc. rat wee as well?
That’s a shame. If Canadians are serious about boycotting our liquor, they should be allowed to do it, not forced to do it.
Let them drink maple syrup........🥞
Ford withdrew all US wines and liquor off of our state run liquor store shelves...Citizen boycott the commie/socialist way.
PING!
Weller for under $30 locally was nice for a while there.
So U.S. supply will increase making your bottle of Kentucky Bourbon or or Tennessee whiskey or California wine cheaper - thank you Trump!
