On March 23, 1933, President Franklin Roosevelt signed the Beer-Wine Revenue Act, commonly known as the Cullen- Harrison Act. This amendment to the Volstead Act permitted the production and distribution of beer, wine and fruit juices containing not more than 3.2% alcohol. A 15-day period was set to allow time for state and local governments to establish regulations. Thus, beer and wine became legally available at 12:01 am on April 7, 1933.
The U.S. Supreme Court held that the Volstead Act had become null and unenforceable upon repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment because it had rested on a grant of authority to Congress by that Amendment. Therefore prosecutions for violations of the Act that had not reached final judgments of conviction before the ratification of the Twenty-First Amendment on December 5, 1933, had to be dismissed.
