MAGA: Don't worry, The Trump turns water into Vodka.
i think us americans are drinking way way to much !!! tarriff away and cut back drinking, who needs all that.
the goal is to squeeze the other countries so they drink tripple and americans drink less so our king trump can take back america while their all drunk. ha ha ha.
Make America Drink American-Fashioned Alcohol Kegs Again = MADAFAKA
Lots of liquor MADE IN AMERICA!
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Young lady pass the cost to the consumer don’t tank your business because of the tariffs
The host from FOX is funny. If price of alcohol from europe increase because of tarifs, the US companies will increase there prices too. Thats why tarifs will hurt the customers .
Lots of good domestic choices for alcohol
Tariffs are taxes. Plain and simple. Don't spend.
I will drink France … not american
Watching Trump manage trade policies is like watching a drunk chase a balloon near the edge of a cliff.
Other alternatives to euro wines canada.. but nobody in the world will buy American wines again.. accept canada still likes Cali WA
Trump's a child playing with matches in a fireworks factory.
American's On The Internet: "we don't need there alcohol we have our own" 😂😂😂
Fox News: Americans stocking up on European alcohol.
To stock up … on EUROPEAN wines and spirits.
Buy american
Drink more tequila
A little pain at first, but your great, great grandchildren might be better off
Well.. assuming if u go with american wines, who's gonna pick the grapes or do the work? You've sent back migrants who do these jobs. So cost for american made wines will still be up just as much.
The tariffs on European alcohols will not affect Trump voters. They aren’t cultured enough to be drinking European wine and alcohol anyway.
i won’t be buying tequila
She knows people are not stocking up on American wines and champagnes, so why would she even ask that? 😂😂😂
Low low prices would eventually lead to higher and higher prices…Who would have thought?
The stupidest Business News host on TV 😂😂😂
History rhymes. Careful. Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act, signed into law in June 1930, significantly increased tariffs on imported goods, leading to retaliatory tariffs from other countries, a sharp decline in international trade, and is often cited as a factor in exacerbating the Great Depression.
American alcohol will go up in price too. Supply and demand.
Go buy your alcohol folks 😂 you heard it here on Fox News /embarrassed
Most Americans can’t afford French champagne 😂 we will not suffer.
Rich Americans who can afford to stock up can afford to pay higher prices.
I lost too many people to alcohol, raise it more
Why do we need all this wine and whisky from Europe anyway? Only wealthy people care about this expensive, oversees alcohol. Americans can buy American.
alcohol is recession-proof
A barolo stick to giving massages
DONT COUNT WITH CALIFORNIA WE ABOUT APART FROM THE SINKING BOAT 🛥️
Everybody will still be buying crap from China while the US is made great again
If you are rushing to stock up on alcohol, you already lost at life.
“Inspires shoppers’ A FOX narrative of rising prises 😢
They should put a tariff on orange face spraypaint.
Come on Trump. Why stop at 200% . Make it 1000%. Produce them yourself and support local farmers and economy!!!
