Dispute puts squeeze on US vintners

California's winemakers are feeling the impact of China's recently announced tariff on US wines as a retaliatory measure against the Trump administration's proposed tariffs on China's steel and aluminum.

Wente Vineyards, a winery in Livermore, California, recently ran into a major hurdle after 23 years of exporting to China. The oldest continuously operating family winery in the US suspended the shipment of 5,000 cases of wine to China because of the uncertainties arising from the trade tariff fight.

"We are disappointed that California's wine business has become collateral damage for a bigger picture that wine has nothing to do with," said Michael Parr, vice-president of international sales for the vintner Wente Family Estates.
