(WineSpectator) - It’s going to be an exceptionally exciting year here at Unfiltered. Election years always are. As has become our tradition, we’ll be making a few brash predictions for 2016 to kick off the new year. We don’t want to spoil the presidential race for anyone, but we can tell you about a little surprise that leading Republican candidate Donald Trump has in store for wine lovers …. But before we get to the juicy details of the near future, let’s first check and see how last year’s prognostications fared. (And if you’re understandably concerned that you just can’t keep up with all of the celebrities, criminals and esoterica that keep the world of adult beverages on its toes, we’ll happily deliver two full weeks of Unfiltered high- and lowlights to your e-mail inbox every other Friday—for free!)

Last year’s faux-Cristal ball (confiscated from convicted wine counterfeiter and Unfiltered Hall of FamerRudy Kurniawan) revealed that Internet sensation Grumpy Cat, having just starred in her own Lifetime holiday movie, would introduce a wine brand—Grümper Veltlitter, perhaps? She took a different tack, introducing a line of not-so-fun party supplies and, last month, unveiling her own animatronic wax-and-fur likeness at Madame Tussauds in San Francisco.

We were a little closer to orbit with our prediction that NASA’s new Orion spacecraft program would lead to some lunar (and loony) wine-and-food projects from Danny Meyer, Guy Fieri and Paul Hobbs. Some folks may have looked at Meyer like he was an alien when he announced an end to tipping at his New York restaurants, and Fieri couldn’t even get his Sonoma winery off the ground, but we did discover that theLovejoy comet is spewing the alcoholic equivalent of 500 bottles of wine a second. And on that encouraging note, we now boldly beam up yet another out-of-this-world wine forecast.

Donald Trump Calls for Ban on Imported Wines … Until We Can Figure Out What’s Going On

Five years ago, 2016 presidential candidate Donald Trump purchased the 1,300-acre Kluge Estate in Charlottesville, Va., that would be rechristened Trump Winery. With 200 acres planted, it is objectively theyuuugest vineyard in the state, as well as the classiest and the best. In 2016, Trump will pledge to make American wine great again.

But Trump will also warn of the dangers of more and more foreign wines coming across importers and into our country. "They send the bad ones over," Trump says, accusing the governments of France, Italy, Spain, Germany, Portugal, Argentina, Chile, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and all the other winemaking countries of pushing corked wines, critter labels and Moscato on real American drinkers, leading many wine-loving uncles around the country to observe that Trump may be controversial, but if you listen to what he's saying, he actually has some good ideas. In 2016, Trump will propose a ban on all foreign wines "until we can figure out what's going on," and will go on to encourage Americans only to drink wines that can produce TTB documentation that they were grown, vinted and bottled in this country.

Trump has been especially vocal in his criticism of Spanish-speaking immigrants like chef José Andrés, whom Trump sued in 2015 for breach of contract, accusing Andrés of canceling plans to open a restaurant in a new Trump luxury development after Trump's incendiary remarks about foreigners. As the suit goes to court, Trump will claim Andrés was acting out in anger. "You could see habañeros in his eyes. Tabasco coming out of his … wherever."
