- 内容摘要
- 欧洲葡萄酒关税迫使美国企业寻求创新解决方案
- 克里斯·莱昂购买已在美国境内的欧洲葡萄酒以规避关税
- 凡妮莎·普莱斯称新型拍卖平台为传统葡萄酒拍卖提供了替代选择
纽约/伦敦，4月1日（路透社）——纽约葡萄酒零售商克里斯·莱昂想出了一个新颖策略，以规避美国总统唐纳德·特朗普对法国和意大利进口葡萄酒征收的高额关税：突袭美国酒窖，收购已在美国境内的葡萄酒。
经营布鲁克林潮流葡萄酒店Leon & Son的莱昂，开始搜寻藏在美国地下室的优质欧洲年份酒，将其抢购并通过在线拍卖出售。

“美国境内已经有大量葡萄酒，其中不乏优质好酒，”莱昂说道，并补充道这种拍卖思路为关税问题提供了解决方案。
他的故事只是一个缩影，展现了商人和企业家们不得不做出改变以应对特朗普针对贸易伙伴的关税攻势——这场攻势导致从药品到酒类等各类产品的进口税上调。
莱昂提出这一想法，是因为担忧关税对其生意的影响。该店90%的收入来自进口葡萄酒。作为特朗普去年4月启动的重塑全球贸易的全面行动的一部分，法国香槟、意大利巴罗洛葡萄酒和西班牙里奥哈葡萄酒等所有品类都被征收了关税。

首场拍卖的葡萄酒包括多年来藏于私人收藏中、现已停产的意大利品牌葡萄酒，以及纽约一家餐厅酒窖中与旧菜单搭配酒款相关的陈年酒瓶——如今该餐厅已不再提供这些搭配。
“进来打破固有格局”
根据去年8月生效的《欧盟-美国贸易协定》，欧洲葡萄酒进入美国时需缴纳15%的关税。今年2月，特朗普的一系列关税（包括针对欧洲的关税）被美国最高法院推翻，但很快就被新的征税措施取代，其中针对欧洲商品的关税至少为10%。
特朗普辩称，美国与众多贸易伙伴存在巨额贸易逆差，他的这些举措旨在扭转这一局面。
然而，美国葡萄酒企业去年就警告称，它们将遭受重创。Leon & Son只是众多被迫寻求创新的受冲击葡萄酒企业之一。
路透社本周报道称，随着2026年关税相关的价格上涨加速，其他一些美国葡萄酒企业转而选择国产葡萄酒或更便宜的进口品牌。
葡萄酒总监、餐厅经营者兼《巨无霸与勃艮第》一书作者凡妮莎·普莱斯表示，像莱昂计划推出的这种新型拍卖平台，为佳士得和苏富比等老牌拍卖行的传统模式提供了新思路——这些老牌拍卖行长期以来一直通过拍卖渠道交易优质葡萄酒。
“仍有大量空间……可以进来打破固有格局，”普莱斯说道，“因为对许多人来说，葡萄酒行业依然充满神秘感。”

- Summary
- Tariffs on European wines prompt US businesses to seek creative solutions
- Chris Leon buys European wines already in US to avoid tariffs
- Vanessa Price says new auction platforms offer alternatives to traditional wine auctions
NEW YORK/LONDON, April 1 (Reuters) – New York wine retailer Chris Leon has a novel strategy to avoid the steep tariffs that have been slapped on imported wines from France and Italy under U.S. President Donald Trump: raiding American wine cellars for bottles already in the country.
Leon, who runs the trendy wine shop Leon & Son in Brooklyn, has turned to hunting down fine European vintages stashed in American basements, snapping them up and selling them through online auctions.

“There’s a lot of wine here already, a lot of really good wine,” Leon said, adding that the auction idea offered a solution to tariffs.
His story is just one example of how business people and entrepreneurs are having to shake things up in response to Trump’s tariff salvos against trade partners, which have led to higher import levies for products from medicines to booze.
Leon came up with the idea in response to worries about the impact of tariffs on his business, which makes 90% of its revenue from imported wines. Tariffs have been slapped on everything from French champagne to Italian barolo and Spanish rioja as part of Trump’s sweeping effort to reshape global trade launched in April last year.

Wines slated for the first auction include Italian labels no longer in production held in a personal collection for years, as well as bottles from a New York restaurant’s cellar linked to old menu pairings they no longer offer.
‘COME IN AND SHAKE THINGS UP’
European wines faced a 15% levy on arrival in the U.S. under an EU-U.S. trade deal implemented in August. In February a suite of Trump’s tariffs, including on Europe, were overturned by the U.S. Supreme Court, but they were quickly replaced with new levies, including at least 10% for European goods.
Trump argues that the U.S. runs deep deficits with many trade partners and that his moves are an attempt to rebalance that.
U.S. wine businesses warned last year that they would take a hit, however. Leon & Son is among thousands of wine firms in the firing line who have been forced to get creative.
Some other U.S. wine businesses are switching to domestic alternatives or cheaper imported brands as tariff-related price hikes gather pace in 2026, Reuters reported this week.
Vanessa Price, a wine director, restaurateur and author of Big Macs & Burgundy, said newer auction platforms like the one planned by Leon offer a fresh take on the traditional model at large houses like Christie’s and Sotheby’s, which have long offered fine wines via auction.
“There is still plenty of room… to come in and shake things up,” Price said. “Because it’s still such a mysterious world for so many people.”
