The American sections have been completely deleted in my local stores, you love to see it
The US wines at my local liquor store have been replaced with a substantial increase to the Chilean wine section and a bunch of new Portuguese wines, among other expansions. Plus a decent expansion of the craft beer selection with more local offerings it’s not all just IPAs anymore. For a small town liquor store it’s been a refreshing change to see some new and more diverse offerings. Some more BC wine would be nice too, but now I’m just getting greedy. Overall, I’d say ditching US alcohol has resulted in better selection at the store and I wouldn’t want to bring their booze back even if the US magically gave up on fascism tonight, cleaned up the country, and apologized to every country they’ve ever disrespected, threatened, invaded, bombed, meddled in, or otherwise fucked with any capacity, and all got together hand in hand like the Who’s down in Whoville and sang O Canada.
Chilean wine is great. I recommend the Emiliana Coyam. Mmm
I would kill for more foreign liquors.
My boss brought me some Sri Lankan Arrack, which is like… Rum made from coconut flower.
It’s amazing, but can’t find it at all in canada.
This is great!! Glad to hear that the shelves aren’t kept empty. So much excellent domestic stuff and the whole world has a ton of great booze to sell. I was shocked how little European stuff was here when I moved to Canada. It’s much better now but some of my fav are still not on the shelves.
Hi friend! I’m an American living in Portugal. Sorry about our bastard of a president. The wines here Portugal are fantastic, I can’t recommend them enough!
Since I’m a wine enthusiast from the states, here are some similar appellations that might satisfy your cravings, due to similar production styles and palates!
Napa and Sonoma Valley, CA … Alentejo
Willamette Valley, OR … Douro
Columbia Valley, WA … Dão, Tras-os-Montes
As a US citizen I really love hearing this. Trumps chumps are really, really stupid but even they don’t like it when they lose money.
Funny how they don’t like it when they lose money, but they fellate a dude who managed to bankrupt a casino…

As a Canadian who visited some vineyards in the Buffalo Niagara region years ago, I’m not as happy. I get the feeling the maga crowd will see this as a necessary sacrifice at best, and be completely indifferent to the destruction of American wine & spirits industry at worst.
Your next step is clear. Freeze all shipments of crown royal. The country club crowds nation wide will be in revolt.
stupid but even they don’t like it when they lose money.
Unless it’s donations to their favorite felon rapist daddy.
Thats a bribe. A legal one.
Trumps chumps are smart. They care not for the citizenry and it is the citizenry that are suffering, not the chumps.
The White House responded to the report, touting Trump’s trade agenda and overall economic policies as beneficial to the industry.
Distillers: “We’re losing money because your trade policy is turning off our international market opportunities!”
White House: “Shut up, idiots! This is the greatest trade policy and you should be happy how much we’re helping you! It’s totally beneficial for everyone, and my everyone, I mean ‘me’!”
Fucking hell.
Keep them elbows up, Canada.
Crime is down significantly all over.
White House: “City streets are a war zone”
He can’t not lie.
American here.
Proud of you Canada.
Only 15% to go.
Looking for a decent replacement for Southern Comfort. I’m not a heavy drinker and the bottle I have was bought before the tariffs started, but I like to plan ahead.
Just mix together equal parts corn syrup and gasoline.
Well, I do like corn syrup…maybe I’ll add black pepper instead of gasoline.
🤣
Man, I barely remember southern comfort- do you drink it straight? I wonder if top shelf moonshine could check a different box https://topshelfdistillers.com/collections/reunion-moonshine
As a consolation prize they ship free amazing butter tarts if you order enough
Edit: I did a little search and saw some people mention Yukon jack. Never tried it and doesn’t come with butter tarts, but might be worth investigating
I actually use it for making Alabama Slammers. They wouldn’t be the same without the spiciness Southern Comfort adds. I’ll have to give Yukon Jack a try
Drambuie. Irish Mist.
It’s made in Quebec. LCBO has it.
Confort Québécois
Well this has taken me down a wild ride. I know of another liqueur but can not remember the name and if it was american or not.
So I start googling (I know its crap but habits and all that) and I get garbage AI articles telling me you can just use gin or bullet wiskey (and that is insane and less then useful even for junk ai articles). Ok… so I see there is some reddit posts literally asking the same question, so take a look. And somehow reddit is now more anti-help then anything. Like even less useful then the ai articles, but with more smug asshattery (there is a pinned post redirecting to another post with the same question and not one actual answer). Oh but then it gets weirder, as one post states that (at least in BC) southern comfort is classified as a Canadian product. So I dig a bit more, and it might be made in Quebec but owned by an american company however nothing seems to be easy to 100% confirm and is a hot mess.
So to (not quite) help you, southern comfort might be a Canadian made but us owned product. That does explain why its still on shelves here but if you want to not fund an american company at all (good thing is that European’s now own most of the brands now) maybe try (less good) to dilute normal whiskey with your own blend of stuff (like people used to do).
Oh and I now realized I was thinking of a fireball replacement, and that is revelstoke cinnamon whiskey BUT I also found out that it too is more american then you would think for a thing named after a town in Canada. Even more funny is that then I went looking and fireball itself is itself Canadian but was bought out years ago by the same company that now makes souther comfort (sazerac in Quebec).
So yeah, that was a ride. Good luck!
Yeah, in my search, everything seemed to end in Sazerac and a couple other companies these days. Crazy. I guess if I just keep buying Canadian-ish Southern Comfort, I can drown my guilt with it…
Yeah its wild on how it seems to all be them.
For me in the last years I bought a lot of US wine bourbon/whisky barrel aged, maybe 6 or 7 differents, I find it interesting, but since I boycott them and anyway we cannot buy them in Canada, too bad… I liked them… Instead I buy Baco Noir from Ontario, pretty good wine.
Well kind of. Now you just have a smaller 100% to go.
The US needs to feel this, i say this as an American.
The idiots in this country will only stop licking boot when they realize it’s killing their incomes. People need to learn that fascism doesn’t pay the hard way since they don’t feel like learning from history books.
Keep up the boycotting
This is fake news. Trump is greatest smartest most brain person to ever live in the history of persons. I am sure he will bail out the alcohol industry and claim it a yuge victory for the world. And it will be his 17th war he resolved and he needs 189 peace prices to commentate his amazing brain smarts.
Love to see it. Elbows up my northern friends!
It was pretty easy, we got some good stuff up here. Doing my part.
Soon we’ll have to write them letters about the loud whine coming across the border. Like they sent us letters about the smoke.
Oh well. Next.
Yeah look no blindfolded person can really tell where any liquor comes from. If you ever drank US alcohol, it’s because of some ad, not taste.
