West Virginia case reviewed by the Richmond court of appeals held that under the national prohibition act, manufacturing non intoxicating ciders and fruit juices for home use requires proof these beverages are in fact intoxicating to convict. Creed Isener, of Randolph County, was fined $300 for possessing several gallons of wine but evidence showed the wine was made from berries on his property for personal use with no sale intent. The decision hinges on the act's language that such beverages are not covered by penalties unless proven intoxicating. Judge Webb emphasizes the plain text and notes the provision was inserted in the senate to shield homemakers from criminalization of home brews.
