“The Distilled Spirits Council, an industry group, estimated exports of U.S. distilled spirits to Canada at $43.4 million over the first six months of 2025, down about 62% from the same period in 2024. Exports of American wine were about 67% lower, the group said, citing U.S. trade data.”
Good job, Canada! Keep your elbows up!
Will booze be cheaper for America now?
They’ll probably still import Alberta barley which is some of the best malt-quality barley in the world. So they’ll probably be tariffing that.
Yeah, that whole thing about supply/demand curves that you learned on day one econ 101? Yeah, that’s bullshit.
In capitalism, they control the supply, so you pay what they demand. It’s that simple. Markets do not in fact regulate themselves, and never have.
They need to recover costs so now they’ll have to pump the local population for more. And they can so they will.
Nope, prices went up. A $40 bottle of whiskey a few months ago is going for $45.
Yeah it was pretty eye-popping to see a bottle of Jameson’s costing almost $40 in the last couple of years.
Not a chance, it was already artificially inflated because they know they can get away with it
