Heymatt:
Was Communion wine affected by the Prohibition?
-- Ike, downtown
Yes. Prohibition made it extremely popular, since it was one of the few forms of alcohol not banned by the 18th Amendment. Between 1923 and 1924, there was a 50% increase in sales of "sacramental" wine, though no one particularly noticed a corresponding increase in church attendance.
