Some related tidbits from that book:
Like the compressed grape bricks, grape juice was perfectly legal. And making your own wine for family consumption was also legal.
So in San Francisco, many homes had basement wine cellars, and you could arrange a delivery from the grape juice truck down a chute into your wine barrel.
If you preferred fresh grapes, you could go to the Drumm Street station to pick up boxes of Napa County grapes straight off the train. Then go next door to the barrel maker and take it all home.
