You apparently don't know how much of anything works. It works the other way around as well. American bourbon will become more affordable than European brandy or Whiskey in the US. That is what happens during a struggle. Its a dispute.
Or as international sales slow down, US prices are raised to replace that revenue since most spirit makers have shareholders to answer to.
Further, the spirit makers have to continue making product since it takes years before it can be sold.
That overhead is expensive and revenue has to keep up with costs.

You obviously aren't a serious bourbon drinker. if people wanted to drink European brandy or whiskey that's what they would choose in the first place.
Just went to Ireland this past spring. Found I enjoyed Jameson Irish Whiskey. Brought home a couple of bottles for nightly cocktails. Much smoother then US brands.

I forgot. I am more of a wine drinker and wine is an agricultural product that varies from season to season. We do not expect nor desire the same drink everyday. Much of the wine I do drink I brew myself anyway.
I am also quite sure many drinkers appreciate variety as well. Not sure why someone who likes rum cannot like whiskey. However I know there are those who must have the same beer everyday.
We'll just have to drink more bourbon here. What's the problem?
In the words of Raylan Givens on Justified, "“Bourbon is easy to understand. Tastes like a warm summer day.”
Americans are going to have to up their Bourbon drinking game considerably if they intend to mitigate the damage done to a billion dollar Bourbon export business. This should be fun to watch.

Its quite amusing though really. I see the "free traders" distill things in economic terms during trade wars. Let them try this in a real war. Let them prove that when a country levels one of our buildings that leveling one of theirs results in economic inefficiencies.
China is running a mercantilist /commie state keeping its population in a smog eating slave status. It is best for our long term interests to have a real middle class that is more independent from its political class. Also best to have them give a crap about the environment just a tad too. They should consume some of their surplus. Europe is not our hot enemy today because their population is not controlled by dictatorial maniacs, but a more comfortable middle class. Sadly trade with Russia was having the opposite effect. It was improving relations and we cut them off. We were improving relations with trade because they imported Western culture in our trade with them. Meanwhile we have made Russian more authoritarian by attacking and isolating them. China does the exact opposite. It limits trade into it while using the surplus to increase it mercantile policies.

I'm sure we're all on the edge of our seats seeing how this bourbon drama plays out

It'll be just one of the dramas "playing out". That will be more than illuminating and entertaining.
