Contrary to common misperception, the Eighteenth Amendment did not prohibit either the purchase or consumption of alcoholic beverages. It was illegal to produce, transport or sell beverage alcohol. However, wine used for religious purposes was not considered a beverage and was permitted.
Farmers were also legally permitted to ferment their fruit for their own consumption. California's grape growers increased their acreage about 700 percent during the first five years of Prohibition and production increased dramatically to meet a booming demand for home-made wine. The mayor of New York City even sent instructions on winemaking to all of his constituents.
