How about wines, cheeses, olive oils

Or fast trains you can only dream of in the US, or Airbus that is kicking Boeing’s ass…
America has world-class wines, cheeses, and olive oils.
America can make those those just as well as the Europeans, that much is true. But world-class implies renowned and nobody outside of America wants those American products. Hell, Americans who care about quality in those categories will favor the European option (whether it's based on merits or not isn't relevant, it's just how it is, it just shows that world-class means nothing).
