California Democrat Calls for Canada to End U.S. Alcohol Restrictions
Schiff says the boycott is hurting California winegrowers as Quebec keeps the ban tied to U.S. tariffs.
- California Senator Adam Schiff wrote to Quebec Premier Christine Fréchette in June urging her to lift the provincial boycott on American wine, claiming the ban causes "devastating harm" to California winegrowers.
- Provincial liquor boards stopped purchasing American alcohol last year in response to President Donald Trump's tariffs and threats of annexation, sparking the retaliatory boycott affecting multiple Canadian markets.
- While Saskatchewan and Alberta resumed stocking American spirits, Ontario and Quebec maintain the ban; Spirits Canada reported a 66.3% drop in American spirit sales between March and April 2025.
- Fréchette rejected the appeal, stating the ban will remain until the United States reverses what she called "unjustified tariffs" and the American administration changes its trade position.
- The dispute has become a bipartisan pressure point in the United States, with a Republican congresswoman from New York introducing legislation earlier this week to formally investigate the bans.
