When it comes to serving temperature, think like Goldilocks...a wine should be just right. ⁠

What’s “just right” for you is a matter of individual taste, but here are some general guidelines.

The ban on alcohol in the United States did not eliminate demand. It simply changed how people got it. When Prohibition came into force, one legal workaround quickly stood out: medicinal liquor. Doctors were allowed to prescribe whiskey for a range of “conditions,” and pharmacies could legally dispense it. What looked like a medical exception soon turned into one of the most exploited loopholes of the era.

Some physicians began writing prescriptions at a pace that raised eyebrows. One case recorded a doctor issuing hundreds in a single day, showing just how far the system could be pushed. Pharmacies became key players in this gray market, with customers lining up not for treatment, but for a legal drink. The line between healthcare and business blurred, and many people involved understood exactly what was happening, even if it stayed within the letter of the law.

This environment also created unexpected winners. Charles R. Walgreen expanded his pharmacy chain rapidly during the 1920s, growing from a small number of stores into hundreds across the country. While not every prescription was fraudulent, the surge in demand for medicinal whiskey helped drive sales and foot traffic. Prohibition was meant to dry out the nation, but instead, it quietly reshaped industries and opened doors for those willing to operate in its legal shadows.
