“The use of cold is an economic and an ecological problem,” acknowledges Bougreau. “To suggest prefermentary temperatures of four degrees Celsius is not ideal. It’s almost unhealthy. And we can’t have a product that’s respectful of the environment if it’s kept at four degrees Celsius for six months.”

“Had the tariffs stayed on we would have seen loads of small US importers go out of business. All the small-production wines they import would have been off of store shelves."

Instead, it's time to pop those corks and hope five years doesn't pass too quickly.

No. No, it’s not. Not with already-tarrifed products here. Not with the sh*tshow that is the shipping industry right now.

BS headline, Fox News. This is a temporary (4-month) situation, and prices may only increase due to the shipping mess.

"The latest tariff expansion, which went into effect January 12, does not provide an exception for goods on the water. As a result, Aneff says, “suppliers will need to raise the prices on key items for restaurants and small businesses around the United States as we head into the heart of the most challenging winter our country has faced in decades.”

"The US hospitality industry lost almost 5.5 million jobs in a single month at the start of the pandemic; 2 million more people are currently unemployed than were pre-Covid. In New York, over a thousand restaurants have perished since March. This massacre has disproportionately affected workers of color, who made up more than three-quarters of the city’s pre-Covid restaurant labor force, and the working poor, which is the only way to describe the vast mass of people employed in an industry with an average salary of $33,700.

Restaurants have been brought to their knees at precisely the moment when the nourishment of the country is most in peril: since the start of the pandemic the number of Americans facing food insecurity has climbed from thirty-seven million to fifty-four million.
