So that means with the surplus of California wines, we should expect prices to go down? 🤣🤡

It has been declining rapidly for the last year. I know some vineyards that are not planning on harvesting this fall as there is no place to put this years production.

SpoilerUp their ass

Not just wine either. They've pretty much boycotted all American alcohol.

American wine sucks anyway. They aren't missing anything boycotting us

American wines are fine. Even back in the 1970s, they were regularly ranked higher than many French wines

And in the 1800s the French vineyards had to import American vines for grafting purposes, after a blight destroyed French vineyards.

They're quite good. But that still doesn't mean you're missing anything. There are a lot of good things in this world, and we're all going to miss most of them.
