    There’s Irish Scottish and Japanese whisky which are in my opinion superior anyway, should take a leaf from Canadas book and take them off the shelves.

      American spirits are mixers here, I’ll use bourbon if I want a cocktail but if I want a glass of something - I dont reach for american.

    can’t do tariffs on the us but how about that chat control?

    The eu seems to be really incapable of doing anything lately.

    Just the initial wave. The next one should be a way bigger response to the blanket EU tariff
