Home winemaking became popular in the United States during prohibition, when making an annual allowance of 200 gal/7.5 hl of fruit juice per household (a limit that still applies in the US) was the only legal way the average American household could procure alcoholic drink. Technology was primitive, and tales of exploding bottles were common, but the pursuit was so popular that vineyard acreage in California doubled between 1919 and 1926.
