I honestly have not missed it… the only thing Murican booze I used to buy was Jean Bean and mostly for my Bourbon BBQ sauces… easily replaced
California wines could be good but there are plenty to choose from… don't even notice the "smaller selection"
American beers? please, I stopped drinking piss water a couple of decades ago
If you don't start buying bud light again we're sending kid rock to sing in your front yard.
Woah, easy there Satan. I've seen people get punched in the face for much lighter threats.
Some pretty solid Canadian bourbon out there. They don't have a monopoly on corn whisky. If they let NAFTA totally lapse, they even lose the exclusive name rights.
Honestly none of the Canadian "bourbons" are any good yet. But I've just switched to other stuff.
Canadian bourbon is an oxymoron. Technically nothing can be a bourbon unless it is produced in the United States, as there are more strict rules on bourbon than most types of alcohol. Can only contain certain things in certain proportions, and also has to be made in the US. So Canadian “bourbon” is just Canadian whisky made following the guidelines for producing a bourbon. Its like how scotch has to be made in Scotland or true champagne has to come from a champagne house in France
That rule is part of NAFTA. If NAFTA is repealed, bourbon doesn't have special status anymore and we can just use the name again.
We lose "Canadian Whisky" but who gives a fuck about that.
Tequila has the same protection. You can't call your agave liquor "tequila" outside of México unless NAFTA goes.
