threatening reciprocal actions and adding in typical trump fashion i've always said american wine is better than french wine. that might be a matter of taste for the french it's all about business the agricultural minister let off steam on a national t.v. show. sure it is absurd to see you tax google apple facebook and amazon now we tax your wines is completely morani we tax the technology companies because they reap enormous profits in our country millions of billions of euros and there's no reason for them not to pay taxes why in exports are a completely different thing when you feel it is unclear how much the us tax on wind will actually cost the french economy if it ever came to that experts say it's mostly makers of chita wines that might feel the pinch as their bottles won't find buyers in the u.s. asked for the country's best vintages they should define. the united

states as the biggest export market for the french outside the e.u. but only in terms of value not volume that means the american strength french wine that is expensive and i'm sure an american who buys a bottle for $100.00 or $150.00 won't think twice before buying a bottle price at $180.00 or $200.00. for the others there's always a decent california sin fund delta toast with. and from wines of beer belgium is known as one of the world's biggest and best beer producers and demand is growing but you can only beat brew as much beer as there are bottles and that's proving to be a bit of a problem the summer. dried up and cooked everything seems to be running smoothly at the family owned brewery the heart of a man in bolivia but recently big production here has been folding. master brewer.

hope we are europe's biggest beer exploiting country we can even export more than the netherlands or germany that has an effect. because when you export glass bottles it takes longer for the empties to come back or maybe they don't come back at all. we have. one solution would be to buy up new bottles of wine and mineral water producers also need more bottles in some glass producers are unable to keep up with overall demand that's even got a few brewery starting to think about alternatives and customers aren't exactly thrilled at the thought. of course i won't even consider the thought of plastic bottles of beer in a kid as something you can accept in the summer and it does appear belongs in glass bottles as far as i'm concerned beat and. leaving only the fervent hope that customers will take heed of the need to how them on has launched
