Little Old Winemaker - Gone

The BBC reports that product scarcity has forced Venezuela’s “only wine maker” to stop selling wine to the Catholic Church, which is already suffering from a shortage of consecrated bread as flour is increasingly hard to come by and wheat is only imported from abroad.

Only one wine maker? That's hard to believe. Where is going to go?


In case you were wondering, the Volstead Act (which fleshed out the 18th Amendment, also known as "Prohibition") allowed for the making of sacramental wine.
