I would bet on wine. When I was a switchman on the Santa Fe in Emporia Ks we had a lot of wine tank cars go through. I never saw a car with grape juice. IMHO it would be impossible to ship Grape juice in bulk with out contamination which would render it useless for any thing on the other end of the trip.
Thank you

I'll stand by grape juice shipped in tank cars. The wine tanks
were inside an express reefer carbody. The last I recall in
service were the Chateau Martin cars.

As to the origin my knowledge of the physical geography of
California is close to zero. All I saw was waybills. They did
not have maps included.

Are you sure it was juice? Many eastern "wineries" purchased
California wine for blending and/or repackaging.
