U.S. Spirits Exports Slid 3.8 Percent in 2025 Amid Ongoing Tariff Battle
Revenue from U.S. spirits exports dipped by 3.8 percent in 2025, a much gentler drop than the 26 percent plummet experienced by the wine and beer categories. Exports of American spirits raked in $2.37 billion last year according to the 2025 American Spirits Exports report from the Distilled Spirits Council of the United States (DISCUS). Ongoing international trade battles, particularly in key markets across Canada and the European Union, account for much of the dip, DISCUS says in a press release about the report.

Uncle Nearest Dispute Escalates as Judge Dismisses Co-Founder’s Bankruptcy Case; Lender Fight Continues
UPDATE 3/19/26: After an expedited hearing this morning, U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Suzanne H. Bauknight granted the motion to dismiss brought by receiver Phillip Young. According to court documents, Bauknight ruled that Uncle Nearest co-founder Fawn Weaver was not authorized to file bankruptcy petitions while under the control of a receiver. The court stated that by filing the Chapter 11 petition earlier this week, Weaver violated U.S. District Judge Charles Atchley Jr.’s order that put the receivership in place, which only permitted her to market and manage the Uncle Nearest brand. As a result, the receivership under Young remains intact.

‘Catastrophic’: U.S. Exports Drop by $357 Million After Canada’s Wine Ban
Canada’s multiple-province ban on American products caused a $357 million deficit for the U.S. wine industry. The prohibition, which started after President Trump enacted his controversial, far-reaching tariffs, prompted the value of U.S. wine exports to Canada to plummet from $460 million in 2024 to $103 million in 2025, according to a new report from Wine Institute. The shift marks a 78 percent drop in U.S. wine exports to Canada, according to the report, which summarized data from the U.S. Census Bureau. The ban also accounts for 81 percent of all losses for global U.S. wine exports last year.

Prestige Alcohol Brands Are Difficult to Build — and All Too Easy to Ruin
It was the evening after my wedding in New Orleans — ages ago — and the core crew of our leftover revelers had descended upon a relaxing Marigny haunt to unwind in style before the impending crash back to our respective realities. “Johnnie Black on the rocks,” I said to the barkeep. “Scratch that,” my brother quickly interrupted. “He’ll take the Macallan 25, neat.” The barman stretched for the gloriously toffee-hued bottle lording over the back bar as my brother turned his sly signature grin my direction. “Relax!
