Wine prices are actually dropping right now, but 25% French tariffs land soon. Am I crazy to clear out the local shop?

Is anyone else looking at the current wine retail landscape and feeling like we're in a massive dip?

Between the post-holiday clearance and everyone doing Dry January, I'm seeing some of the best prices in months on French staples. But I've been running the numbers on my personal collection through [winescanner.ai](https://winescanner.ai), and was shocked at how French-heavy my cellar is. It really hit me that once the current old stock on shelves runs out, that $40 bottle of Beaujolais or Rhone is almost certainly headed toward $60+ due to the new 25% tariffs.

We have this weird window where prices are actually down right before they're about to spike. I'm planning to restock my cellar this month while these 2025 prices are still live. Are you all front-loading now, or are you hoping producers find a way to absorb the cost by summer?
