yes but many of the California winery's were smart enough to make a deal with the catholic church to be able to still produce sacramental wine. after prohibition they were able to make comeback and be a world leader in wine production.

wonder why the south couldn't figure out this loophole? would have been a respectable way to get out of the woods, instead getting busted at the still by the revenuers.
