I can't even figure out what you're saying. They will have a choice of either consuming something else, consuming less or spending more. Those are the only possible choices. Period. What does labeling it a "luxury" have to do with it?
Those are individual life choices.
You mean the choice between changing what they consume or paying more right?
While I dont know the particulars of the alcohol business, I suspect that Trump would not tariff EU alcohol unless he was matching what they tax similar US goods.
You don't know what you're talking about. Trump is not matching tariffs at all. He's just imposing them on everything out there. If you think he's matching tariffs you haven't been paying attention.
Prior to the tariffs imposed during the [first] Trump administration, the EU had a 0% tariff on US whiskey. However, in June 2018, the EU imposed a 25% retaliatory tariff on American whiskey in response to the Trump administration's tariffs on steel and aluminum imports. The retaliatory tariff caused a significant drop in US whiskey exports to the EU. In 2021, American whiskey exports to the EU had fallen by 20% compared to 2018 levels, according to the Distilled Spirits Council of the United States
In 2023, the EU suspended the 25% retaliatory tariffs until March 31, 2025.
That is why US alcohol makers are against the tariffs.
