Washington whines as Ottawa bans wines

The US wine industry is facing new pressure as several Canadian provinces ban US alcohol — a decision that could deeply affect US exporters, experts said.

Robert Eyler, an economics professor at Sonoma State University and an expert on the wine industry, said Canada remains a key export destination for US wine, accounting for roughly one-third of all US wine exports.

"Canada has been a consistent, lower-cost logistics market for US wine producers annually," he told China Daily.
