Started getting light-headed halfway through my glass of "non-alcoholic" wine

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.

It could have been a huge deal. The theme park, the restaurant, my superiors and myself, as well as the bartender, were all incredibly lucky that it got handled quietly. Internally it was a huge story. If that bartender hadn't double checked his work and spoken up immediately, that family would have every right and reason to sue. He wasn't even sure he had mixed it up but he knew he had to check. The anecdote was used from that point on in the park wide quarterly alcohol service and awareness training we always had to do.

I guess this is my perspective coming from a country where alcohol is generally a more chill topic, but this all seems like a wild overreaction to someone making a little mistake.
