Wine War
The Wine War is an ongoing economic conflict between Corumm and Aciria following the Corummese Atomic bombing of Shimrra in 2022. The conflict started on the same day as the atomic bombing, when in the afternoon Emperor Ignazio I officially condemned the bombing. Corummese officials reacted to the statement quickly with initial bans on Acirian wine, citing research done by Corummese officials to have discovered high amounts of lead in Acirian wines used as a sweetener, and the grapes used in the winemaking were discovered to have arsenic.

The Imperial Seat stayed quiet following the Corummese statement, but Acirian vintners called the Corummese research biased and falsified. The Imperial University of Trossera reported no lead or arsenic discovered in either the wine or the grapes, which then resulted in an Acirian ban on Corummese exports entirely. Only after two years the sanctions were unofficially lifted, with Acirian wines being imported to Corumm regularly and Corummese products regularly stocking Acirian grocery store shelves. The governments of both parties still regularly either add or remove sanctions.
