EU wine and spirits to face 15% US tariff from August 1. European wine and spirits will face a 15% U.S. import tariff until a different deal is agreed in talks expected to continue in the autumn. It would take a carve-out in negotiations to change the rate.
The whole thing is stupid, as you cannot make wines with European terroir in America. Duh. And all the whiskeys are different. You can't make Irish whiskey in America. Nor can you make Japanese whiskey in America or in Ireland, even though it is spelt the same way.
Scottish whiskys will only have a 10% tariff. Does that mean anyone exporting Irish whiskey from Northern Ireland will only have to pay 10%?
