The 100% tax is set to go into effect on February 15, 2020, but we still have time to tell our government that this 100% tax is a major mistake.

Let your voice be heard before it is too late. We have until January 13th to let our voices be heard. Click HERE and let the U.S. Trade Representative know that you are 100% against a 100% tax on wine! Please share with your friends. Together we can prevent this 100% tax!

I always preferred California wines.

Most European grapes are from California seedlings

Although California has two native grape varieties, the missionaries quickly realized that they make very poor quality wine. Therefore, the missionaries used the Mission grape, which was introduced to South America by Spanish settlers who called the grape “criolla”.

Signed.
It seems like a lot more than wine is involved.
I no longer drink but am opposed to any new taxes on anything.

I agree with him there! The American wines are much better than French.
