"Revenuers" -- tax and excise officers -- and police often feature as {{The Antagonist}}s in these stories, hunting down the moonshiners, who often are willing to resort to violence to defend their livelihood. Shipping out the finished product while evading them is a job best left to a BadassDriver who knows the back roads and shortcuts. In the United States, the [[NitroBoost extensive speed and performance modifications]] made to otherwise ordinary-looking cars made by these drivers during [[RoaringTwenties Prohibition]] eventually led to the establishment of UsefulNotes/{{NASCAR}} racing. In addition to boosting speed, smugglers carved out more storage space inside the vehicles and upgraded the shocks to enable carrying heavy loads. Speedboats used for booze smuggling in the Caribbean influenced the design of WWII torpedo boats.

* In ''Series/TheCherryQueen'', Ruth Goldfisch von Roll (Creator/JohannaWokalek) gets rapidly bored when hiding in the basement of her home during UsefulNotes/WorldWarII (since she's Jewish and living in UsefulNotes/NaziGermany, and refused to leave), so she decides to build herself a distillery in said basement, and then consumes her own homemade booze. She also distillates alcohol because she can't stand being inactive after it's become very clear she can't harvest her beloved cherry orchard anymore, lest she wants to get caught and deported.
