"Chris Leon's little Clinton Hill shop stands out for its deep catalog of small, ambitious American producers (plus plenty from France and Italy) at fair prices, despite the challenges posed by tariffs."
"90 percent of Leon's revenue comes from imported wines, which are now facing a minimum 10 percent tariff due to recent trade policies."
"Many American businesses have decided to absorb tariff costs rather than passing them along to consumers, accepting thinner margins in the process."
U.S. wine businesses are responding to tariff-related price increases by sourcing domestic alternatives and cheaper imported brands. A notable example is Chris Leon's Leon and Sons in Brooklyn, which has become a community staple since 2015. Despite its success, the winery faces challenges as 90 percent of its revenue comes from imported wines, which are subject to tariffs. The U.S. Supreme Court briefly overturned tariffs, but new levies have been implemented, prompting many American businesses to absorb costs instead of passing them to consumers.
