Speaking of drained brains and France, here’s a gentle reminder from our @CultureDesk of why America doesn’t actually have a Champagne business.

As we said during Trump's first turn: So we have to drink it ourselves! We already had the same idiocy with the same man years before!
And once again: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/mar/13/donald-trump-threatens-tariff-on-eu-wine-and-champagne

Apropos of nothing, here's @foodandwine's guide to Champagne, answering such questions as "Can America actually be said to have a 'Champagne business?'"
#Trump threatened to enact a 200% #tariffs on European #wine, #champagne & other #alcohol beverages, the latest escalation in a brewing #TradeWar between the #US & the #EU.
Trump in a social media post on Thursday said that he would move forward w/the import duties if the EU doesn’t repeal a tax on US #whiskey, a measure put in place to retaliate against Trump’s #steel & #aluminium tariffs that went into effect on Wed.
