Also one was allowed to make a certain amount of wine at home for one's
own use, although I am not certain about the legal details. Also alcohol
was allowed by prescription for medical purposes. Large amounts of
grapes were shipped from California across the country for those who
made wine at home. These were often table grapes that likely made very
poor wine. Also various flavor extracts were sold that people added to
illegal alcohol to make poor copies of various spirits and liqueurs. I
do not have a single reference for all of this. These are just things I
recall from reading many wine boks over the years.
