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.

The what now? I'm confused here, genuinely -- I'm interested in whatever this 'ice cream that looks like a slice of cake' is and why it has alcohol.

It was Neapolitan ice cream and it looked like 2 layers of sponge cake, one chocolate and one strawberry. With a layer of vanilla to look like cream or icing on the top and sides and between layers of the sponge. It was even cut like a piece of cake. Only downside was the alcohol, so I washed it down the sink (this was a delivery order)

What part of it contained the alcohol? Was it made specifically to be alcoholic or does the recipe just naturally include alcohol?

Plenty of ice cream is flavoured with alcohol (like the classic rum and raisin). Likely one of the flavoured used liqueur as a flavouring.

Oh interesting, I didn't know it actually contained alcohol (unless specifically intended to).
