Was also already repealed. They were mad cheap EITC tea/goods was flooding the market and undercutting their Import businesses.
So throwing shitty, cheap wine into the harbor that is undercutting local wineries is perfectly in line with tradition!

Do you 'spose he knows who picked those grapes or thought about who will pick them in the future? If he googles Los Gatos Canyon he might learn something, (or not).
Aw heck, I'll make it easy.

Always Elvis wine from the 1970s. As others posting here have commented, it's not an especially good blend. However, lots of people will buy it for the implied "collector" value**. And the majority of those people will have no clue how to properly store wine, with the result that it will turn into vinegar and, thus, become totally worthless to either a collector or a wine drinker.
** remember, if something is marketed as a 'collectible', or perceived by the average person as one, it's usually produced in a large enough quantity as to negate any possible collector value.

Beanie Babies.
Also, as I mentioned upthread, this is non-vintage bubbly. It's not intended to age. If you keep in perfect storage conditions for five years, it'll be undrinkable. If you keep it under conditions most people who buy Trump-branded collectibles keep them (in the pantry, behind the gun rack but in front of the Confederate flag stand), it'll be vinegar by next Christmas.
Ah, 90's!

I remember buying a box at the West Roxbury Roche Bros. (back when they were way on the other side of Centre Street). Never opened it, now it's missing!

Its the timing and the bottle , not the contents, I have a crock of Tullamore Dew hand carried over when it was no longer available in the US at one time . It is worth more to the people that appreciate it more for the historical significance than the creature inside , even though it has aged quite a bit in its unopened crock awaiting its unleashing at a later point in time.

To answer your question... "How long will these sit on the self?" We had 240 bottles which were put out last week right before the inauguration. 7 days later, all 240 bottles have sold out. To be honest, I was very surprised at how well and fast they did sell. I understood that some people would be upset that we carried these, and others happy. We were not trying to make a political statement by selling it, after all, we still proudly carry products from Mexico!

You can always cultivate a taste in vodka, that seems to be the rage today, made in USA but elite stuff gets imported. Put the bottle in the refrigerator and you cant tell the difference,Smirnoff is as good as Stoli !

Heineken owns Dos E , and they are smarter than the average beer. They will whopper chop the numbers, brew it at another existing brewery , maybe have it contract brewed in USA or, buy an existing USA brewery operation. Don't you be worried about the Most Interesting Man in the World. Perhaps Cuba would be an innovative place to make a brewery, start a trend , friend. Who knows , even Bacardi might consider it .
Trump money will last forever!

For only $29.95 a person can buy a $2 bill with Mr. Trump's face on it. Or for $19.95 a person could have purchased a formerly Kennedy 50 cent piece that is now a Trump 50 cent piece (with Mr. Trump's face). Previously one could purchase a 1 dollar coin with Mr. Trump's face.
Wine will go bad or it will be drunk. But Trump money (as long as it's not spent of course) will be a keepsake that lets you be a part of history!
