More than 19,000 supporters of the wine and spirits sectors raised concerns over the impact of tariffs on small U.S. wineries and distilleries in petitions sent to President Trump on June 26 by the Toasts Not Tariffs Coalition and the Distilled Spirits Council of the U.S. “Thousands of consumers and workers throughout the wine and spirits supply chain, from barrel makers to bartenders, are sending a clear message to the administration that we want toasts, not tariffs,” the Toasts Not Tariffs Coalition said. “We need the president’s leadership to secure trade agreements that protect fair and reciprocal zero-for-zero tariffs with the EU and our other key trading partners.” The petitions urged everyone connected to the spirits and wine industries—from bartenders, consumers, manufacturers, farmers, importers and exporters—to sign on, noting that tariffs put American jobs at risk and should be permanently eliminated. Members of the Toasts Not Tariffs Coalition, a group of 57 associations representing the entire three-tier chain of the U.S. alcohol industry and related industries, shared the petition materials with their members and partners, boosting awareness of the campaign through social media channels.
