Recent announcements by President Trump on tariffs have paused the wine and spirits world. Everyone is looking for a direction. As the days pass, the global drinks trade will have to start understanding the new rules and the supply chain. In times like this, face-to-face meetings and relationships play a vital role.

USA Trade Tasting and Business will happen on May 20 in Chicago, and the theme will be focused on creating partnerships in the uncertain times of today. With new tariffs, there is a lot of uncertainty in the market. Bartenders and Bar managers, especially from the midwest are,a are invited to attendthe  USA Trade Tasting to discover new brands and to learn from the conference that will address the topic.

The brands that are exhibiting at USA Trade Tasting understand that it is a long-term partnership with their importer and distributor partner that matters the most in navigating these times.

Ultimately, the deal and understanding will have to be done between the buyer and seller while we continue the back-and-forth conversations between tariffs.

On May 20, there will be about 100 brands - both domestic and international looking to partner with importers, distributors, retailers, sommeliers, and bartenders.

We encourage you to join the conversation where the conference will focus on data talks on new updated taxes, importers and distributors panel will focus on how they are navigating the landscape. The restaurant and bar panel will focus on what they plan to do with their current imports and how they are working with their distributors.
