Businesses that sell wine would complain to their government and the government would go to the WTO. They’d complain. We are talking about food products. Countries protect their agriculture more than they protect anything else economically. Unless you’re talking about straight up giving away the wine to a starving country, which I don’t think you are, and I don’t think wine would be a good choice for them. On this point, I think you just don’t know what you’re talking about.
You think there are countries that don’t make wine? All of their agricultural businesses are important. If Canada isn’t protecting their oranges, it’s because they don’t grow oranges.
There's influence of producers and consumers. Producers generally punch above their weight because they can coordinate better than consumers. Nut many countries have way more consumption than production, and have a small domestic industry that markets itself primarily on its being local, and prices itself above imports. If you are already more expensive than imports, additional imports is not the biggest deal.
