WINE SECTOR: IMPLICATIONS OF BREXIT AND EU-US TARIFF DISPUTE

The month of January 2021 was characterised by changes in trade following Brexit, which also affected the wine sector. US president Joe Biden assumed office on January 20th 2021 as hopes rise for a shared solution concerning the on-going tariff conflict. At the same time, calls from France for a compensation fund from the European Commission have lead to increased aid support for French wine growers suffering from both the COVID-19 crisis and the trade dispute between the EU and US.
