...permitted to continue making his own applejack or blackberry wine on the legal fiction that it was a non-intoxicating fruit-juice for home consumption. Soon shrewd vine-yardists seized upon Section 29 to supply the wine wants of city folk. Virginia Dare Vineyards, Inc. promised to ship a grape juice that would ferment into champagne in the home and thus be quite legal (TIME, Aug. 6, 1928). Seeking new markets for their grapes, seven California co-operatives in 1929 merged as Fruit Industries, Inc., joined the California Grape Control Board, obtained and shared a $10,000.000 loan from...
...months ago an independent California concern went a step farther toward simplified wine making. They put on the market a patented grape concentrate in solid form about the size of a pound of print butter. Known as Vino Sano, selling at $2 each, these nonalcoholic wine bricks were flavored sherry, champagne, port, claret, muscatel, et al.

It has been accepted by our committee without change of name...
...bite it. It must be tasty so that he will not feel disappointed. And if possible it should create an urge to eat more. An example of the latter quality is found in the Bonny Tart, invented recently by an Indiana salesman. The Bonny Tart is filled with grape jelly, its sides are per forated with tiny holes. When it is subjected to tooth pressure the Bonny Tart exudes grape jelly upon the consumer's tongue. Naming so many varieties is difficult. The Robena cooky is so called be cause it is iced on both sides by an "en robing...
