DISCUS Urges Toasts Not Tariffs for Spirits

By April 24, 2025Top News

The Distilled Spirits Council of the United States (DISCUS) issued a call to action in partnership with the Toasts Not Tariffs Coalition as uncertainty about tariffs continues. A DISCUS petition campaign urging the administration not to impose tariffs on spirits generated nearly 13,000 signatures earlier this year. Now, Spirits United is expanding its campaign efforts with the Toasts Not Tariffs Coalition, a group of 54 associations representing the entire three-tier chain of the U.S. alcohol industry and related industries. The new campaign urges the administration to secure fair and reciprocal tariff-free trade with key trading partners. Consumers, distillers, vintners, the hospitality and retail sectors, and other industry stakeholders can visit spiritsunited.org/tnt-coalition-petition/. “The coalition is urging everyone connected to the spirits and wine industries, from bartenders, consumers, manufacturers, farmers, importers and exporters, to tell the administration that tariffs on distilled spirits and wines put American jobs at risk and must be eliminated,” said Chris Swonger, DISCUS President and CEO.
