What is smuggling and making of illegal alcohol called?

Smuggling and making of illegal alcohol is commonly referred to as "bootlegging." This practice involves the clandestine production, distribution, and sale of Alcoholic Beverages without government authorization or regulation. Bootlegging often arises in response to legal restrictions, such as during Prohibition in the United States, and continues to occur in various forms today. It can lead to serious legal consequences and public health risks due to the unregulated nature of the products involved.
