      - Tariffs so less international demand for US wine

      - Canadian boycots of US products due to tariff wars

      - Boomer wine buyers dying off

      - younger generations drinking less overall and being less into wine

      - everyone on GLP-1s drinking less

                The trend is the same adjusting for inflation
