How Trump's Tariffs Are Making Australian Wineries Great Again

Australia is benefiting from the collapse in US wine exports to Canada, with Hill-Smith Family Estates predicting the country could soon overtake America as its third-largest market.

Speaking to the drinks business, executive director of marketing and sales Jack Glover said Canadian consumers are increasingly turning to Australian wines as the trade dispute reshapes the market.

The Wine Institute has reported that US wine exports to Canada fell 78% from 2024 to 2025, costing American producers more than $357 million.

He said South American wineries are also gaining ground in Canada. “If you look at the export figures, they’re growing at a rate that you wouldn’t have expected.”
