Supreme Court to review Prohibition-era home distilling ban
Original: supreme
The US Supreme Court has agreed to hear a case challenging a Reconstruction-era federal law that bans distilling spirits at home. The law, dating from the 1860s, allows home wine and beer making but prohibits home distillation. The justices will decide whether the restriction is constitutional, a question of interest to hobbyists and advocates of alcohol deregulation.
Why now: The Supreme Court agreeing to hear a case that could legalise home distilling is a notable development in US alcohol law.
