United States Considers Wine Imports and Trade Pacts
A report notes the United States may allow about 2 600 000 gallons of Argentine and other South American wines. A trade pact with Argentina is discussed along with deals with Colombia and Brazil. Despite allotments at roughly ten percent of requests, importers praise the swift permit approvals. Officials cite caution pending pact negotiations. A Canadian liquor import figure is referenced but not discussed. In states with liquor sales after repeal, distributors prepare to meet deliveries to hotels, restaurants, and other outlets, while most whisky and spirits remain unconsumed. Dr James Doren cites only about 15 000 000 gallons ready for consumption, with one million gallons four years old. England’s oldest fire engine is still in use after 150 years. Meanwhile, trains and planes push into jungle regions amid ongoing tensions.

Italy and Germany appeared favored, while UK whisky accounted for under five percent. Talks with Britain and France on reciprocal trade continued, targeting fruit for wine and pork and butter for Scotch whisky exchanges.
