A key component of the President-elect's economic policy is sweeping new tariffs on imported goods.
"Three-quarters of the alcoholic products I sell come from outside the United States," Umstead said.

Many people don't consider how many products they love that would maybe be priced out of their price point."

"Don't look at it and say, 'Wow this is going to be repeated day after day I'm going to sell everything I have and put it into the stock market," said Mike Walden, professor emeritus of economics at NC State University.
He said it helps the Trump administration that the economy is already in a good place. Inflation is down and weekly wages are slowly rising.
Umstead meantime is hopeful his drink prices don't have to rise anytime soon.
"There are curveballs being thrown at folks who work in these businesses, everyday people, every Durhamite," he said. "We're all in this together and we'll figure out how to go forward as a community."
