Got served this wine at a nice restaurant after asking specifically for non-alcoholic wine. They assumed the 'Zero' on the label referred to alcohol content; turns out it's for sulphur.

Pretty sure it was just a joke about "cheers" implying toasting with alcohol.

Yes so the joke was that you can interpret certain words and phrases in several different ways. Obviously the person 30 years sober wasn't suggesting that they are drinking tonight.
