New Yorkers flock to supermarkets for foreign products

New Yorkers flock to supermarkets for foreign products
After tariffs imposed on other countries, Americans flock to grab wine, coffee and chocolate

Sales of wine produced in Italy, along with those of French champagne, had increased somewhat in recent days.

But after Donald Trump's speech on Wednesday evening and then throughout Thursday, customers flocked to stores.

Neil Weinstock, owner of Beacon Wines and Spirits, a Manhattan wine shop, admits: "The work has been going well in the last few hours, but I'm not at all optimistic about how things will go in the future."

The trend is national, confirms the Wall Street Journal, describing Americans shocked by the announcement of the obligations as "already in 'add to cart' mode."

In online stores and in stores, since Wednesday evening there have been reservations for all kinds of favorite foreign products: from coffee to chocolate, to soy sauce and, not forgetting, wine.

To get to Japanese-brand televisions – and even cars.

And there is also a rush for American objects like iPhones and Nike, manufactured and/or assembled in Asia: and therefore, in the near future, potentially more expensive than they are now.

If it can't be called outright panic, at least when we remember the flagrant forms of hoarding toilet paper during the COVID era, we come close.

Of course, in this part of the world the mood was already bad before the announcement of the duties, all the more so with the cost of eggs so high – despite the general slowdown in other prices – that just yesterday the New York Times recommended dyeing potatoes for this Easter.
