It has been a bleak week for international students in the US - and perhaps even harder for the 280,000 or so Chinese students who would have noticed that their country has been singled out.

Less sun and lower temperatures in Burgundy, even with climate change, means less sugar in the grapes and lower alcohol content.Mr Labet remembers when, for 18 months of his first presidency, Donald Trump hit European wine with a 25% import tariff during a dispute over airlines.

"We were hostages of that situation, and it really did affect our sales to the US. We had a drop of about 50% of our exports to the US."Regarding the current 10% Trump tariff, he predicts that French wine producers and US merchants will split the cost of the new import duty between them in order to maintain sales.But what will be the impact if in July Trump does decide to increase the tariff on all European Union exports to 20%, as he has threatened to do? "We will go back to the 2019 situation where the market was almost stopped," says Mr Labet.

For French wines in general, things could be even worse."When President Trump raised import duties by 25% for one-and-a-half years of his first mandate, we lost about $600m [£450m] very quickly," says Jerome Bauer, president of the French National Wines and Spirits Confederation.

"But back then Champagne wasn't included, and neither were wines stronger than 14 degrees of alcohol. So you can see the scale of the threat today."

The solution Mr Bauer is backing is free trade. No tariffs. But you'd expect him to say that, given that France and Europe run a big trade surplus with the US when it comes to wines and spirits.As head of development for Red Dragon Darts, Mr Huxtable tries to name all the world champions he has made darts for.

"Peter Wright, Gerwyn Price, Michael Van Gerwen, Luke Humphries, Trina Gulliver..." the names keep coming.Within his work, Mr Huxtable has played a pivotal role in helping many players excel including World number one, Humphries.

"The Luke Humphries dart is a long shaft, front-weighted short barrel which creates certain amount of drag and lands at a perfect angle for him in the board to help his scoring."Every darts player is different, Peter 'snakebite' Wright's world titles mean a lot to me, me and Peter would go through hundreds of concepts," he said.
