   December 5, 1933, marked the end of the "Volstead Act", which prohibited Americans from drinking, importing or selling alcohol.

French products, champagne in particular, were popular across the Atlantic. This providential windfall benefited the French economy. The successive French governments during this period did everything they could to promote this trade, to the great displeasure of the Americans.
