The European cheese of Discord

South America's wine producers are bracing for major disruption as the long-stalled EU-Mercosur trade deal moves forward.

Smaller producers are particularly worried about bankruptcy, whilst the rush to claim EU tariff quotas on a first-come basis is already creating friction between neighbouring countries.
