Such as sacramental wine, etc? Or, were the "guilty" parties arrested for breaking the law?

I am sad at how FEW answers there were, and the only two "good" answers weren't even correct.
Prohibition (18th Amendment):
Section 1. -After one year from the ratification of this article the manufacture, sale, or transportation of intoxicating liquors within, the importation thereof into, or the exportation thereof from the United States and all territory subject to the jurisdiction thereof for beverage purposes is hereby prohibited.
Section 2. The Congress and the several States shall have concurrent power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.
Section 3. This article shall be inoperative unless it shall have been ratified as an amendment to the Constitution by the legislatures of the several States, as provided in the Constitution, within seven years from the date of the submission hereof to the States by the Congress.

********* To answer my OWN question *********
Legal and illegal home brewing was popular during Prohibition. Limited amounts of wine and hard cider were permitted to be made at home. Some commercial wine was still produced in the U.S., but was only available through government warehouses for use in religious ceremonies, particularly for communion in Roman Catholic, Eastern Orthodox and Episcopal churches and in some Jewish ceremonies. "Malt and hop" stores popped up across the country and some former breweries turned to selling malt extract syrup, ostensibly for baking and "beverage" purposes.

Churches that do use alcohol, believe that it is changed by
the blessing to the 'blood of Christ' so therefore it is not alcohol.
Yet to this day, some of the Churches do use grape juice, just
not fermented.

when I went via RCIA i replaced into informed that Western subculture does no longer eat fish on Friday for the time of Lent. different factors of the international ought to provide up fish for Lent. the reason being, the West has a tendency to eat more effective beef. In cultures the position fish is the important source of protein, that is more effective of a sacrifice to furnish that up.

no, yes. Most churches have always used "new wine" .. fresh grape juice. The few that thought they had to use fermented wine made it in thier cellar.

It would have been illegal to arrest any member of the church using alcohol for services...that is the purpose of separation of church and state.
