What Tariffs Mean for Pittsburgh Wine
from City Cast Pittsburgh · host City Cast
Pennsylvania's regulations around alcohol are complicated, but Trump's tariffs are adding another hurdle for all the good folks selling us our drinks. There's an especially enormous figure getting thrown around when it comes to European wine – a 200% tariff! While a hike that big might not come to pass, bottle shops are already navigating some higher prices. Freelance journalist Aakanksha Agarwal joins us to explain how local sellers are dealing with tariffs and how we can continue to support our small wine shops.
