Wine and Food Tariffs

The Press Herald has published an article on the tariffs on wine and specialty food being considered that would have a major impact on restaurants, specialty food shops and the wine industry in Maine.

“Literally, our wine shop would cease to exist if this happens, within a matter of months. Our restaurant would not be the restaurant we want it to be – its heart would be ripped out,” Peter Hale [co-owner of Drifters Wife and Maine & Loire] said in an interview. “That goes for a number of our peers in the community.”

Individual can voice their opposition to the tariffs by posting comments on regulations.gov.

Additional reporting can be found on the Bangor Daily NewsFood & Wine and Wine Spectator websites.
