(WineSpectator) - It was Google versus Veuve Clicquot at the U.S. International Trade Commission building in Washington, D.C., earlier this week, as U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer held two days of hearings over whether the government should impose 100 percent tariffs on French sparkling wines, handbags, cookware and other goods. On one panel, lobbyists for tech companies argued that the tariffs were necessary to punish France for its digital service tax, which the Trump administration believes unfairly discriminates against American companies like Facebook, Amazon and Google.
