A tariff on champagne would mostly hit the rich so go for it hahaha

[–] GoatTnder@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago (3 children)

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.

Pretty sure you have bigger problems? Asking for a friend.

[–] Nighed@feddit.uk 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Prosecco is Italian, so I assume would be covered too?

[–] GoatTnder@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

True. But decent bottles of prosecco start at like $8, and decent champagne starts at like $40.

[–] RidderSport@feddit.org 2 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Is that so? A good champagne is 20-30 Euros in Germany

[–] GoatTnder@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

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.

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.

[–] RidderSport@feddit.org 1 points 23 hours ago

Geez guys, there's good Sekt, so please do not promote that awful and not even cheap stuff

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.
