It would hit plenty of us working class schmucks too. I don’t usually get to treat myself to a bottle, but it’s nice for a special occasion to get actual champagne over prosecco. I guess this is the end of that.
Transport from France to Germany is a lot cheaper than from France to USA. But I don’t know why Italian prosecco is so much cheaper. Same issue with bordeaux vs. (say) tuscan.
California produces many excellent sparkling wines, some of which are quite affordable. We’ve got a bit of a grape glut as well, so that should help with prices. European wines going to Canada sounds like a good plan as well! I’m all for anything that pries the big-money donors away from Trump but I hope this is one that won’t hurt ordinary folks too much.

Pretty sure you have bigger problems? Asking for a friend.
Prosecco is Italian, so I assume would be covered too?
True. But decent bottles of prosecco start at like $8, and decent champagne starts at like $40.
Is that so? A good champagne is 20-30 Euros in Germany

Of course it does it’s French and overpriced. Buy Rotkäppchen.
Meh. Freixenet is the way to go. But I am on your side with champagne being overpriced. Same shit, fancy name.
Geez guys, there’s good Sekt, so please do not promote that awful and not even cheap stuff
