I'm afraid it does, no matter what colour it comes in, it still contains NO alcohol, only a compete moron would think that such a product contains alcohol, and if they were THAT moronic, a simple look at the packaging would convince them otherwise. Its no different to buying a pack of Wine Gum's and having the tiller "think" they contain alcohol, or the purchaser convinced they are getting "nissed as a pewt" by eating them..
Opening post:I was asked for ID because I wanted to buy chicken chasseur with red wine and herbs. Why was I asked for ID? Because it contains wine!!
Less than 5.5% wine, mixed in with chicken and sauce and all sorts of other stuff so even if I was under 18 I am hardly going to suck the wine out of it and go on the lash am I!
I've even put some bits in red for you
Had the cashier spent a while reading the packet, no doubt we would have had the OP on here moaning it took to long to scan his items!
Some double standards going on in this thread I think.This is my signature. There are many like it, but this one is mine.0 -

Even if she had taken a while to scan it I wouldn't have complained, as long as she wasn't demanding ID for a tomato based cooking sauce...It must be accepted as a principle that the rifle cannot replace the speed of the horse, the magnetism of the charge and the terror of cold steel.

Erm...Water, Onions, Tomato Puree, Red Wine (7.5%), Carrots, Sunflower Oil, Modified Maize Starch, Sherry, Lactic Acid, Sugar, Yeast Extract, Fructose, Salt, Stabiliser (Xanthan Gum), Flavourings, Herbs & Spices, Garlic, Chili Extract, May Contain Traces Od Celery.
Allergies Information May contain Celery
So it would seem that it may contain some form of wine,
Also are many people allergic to celery??It must be accepted as a principle that the rifle cannot replace the speed of the horse, the magnetism of the charge and the terror of cold steel.

But what I don't understand is, The OP didn't realise it didn't have alcohol in it in his opening post (he put the dish only had 5.5% alcohol in it), and no one calls him a moron. Yet the checkout girl doesn't know and she gets called a moron. How does that make sense?
Erm no, the OP said one of the ingredients, when it was made, was 5.5% red wind, this does not equate in any way, shape or form to an alcohol content of 5.5%, any alcohol would have evaporated when the wine was cooked, tis the nature of the beast.
If the sauce had a 5.5% alcohol content it would have been clearly shown on the label. But there was NO alcohol content show, because there was NO alcohol, as most adults (bar some ignorant people on this thread) would know.

think the OP meant "contains the WORD wine" which is pretty much the case as has been established already, (had you followed the thread properly, even you would have worked that bit out by now) Ive highlighted it in red for you, in case your completely confused by it all.Opening post:

I am sure by now (even YOU) have worked out there is NO ALCOHOL in the said product (it gets boiled out as it is cooked before packaging - something else we learned at pre school).
However the OP maybe able to re-establish that basic and simple fact for you. No doubt whatever is said you will argue for the sake of argument about it, anything to deflect the obvious
That being he was asked for ID for a NON ALCOHOLIC product, on top of having relevant ID and being of obvious (over 21) years of age, feel free to dance around this fact with your irrelevant and pointless spiel.:A:dance:1+1+1=1:dance::A

Judging by the OP's post above yours, he doesn't know that the alcohol would have evaporated. So is he being ignorant? Is he a moron? No, he just doesn't know. Similar to the checkout girl, she didn't know. Perhaps she would have looked at the ingredients list (as the OP has done on the post above yours) and saw alcohol listed.This is my signature.

No, I fully understand what happens when one cooks alcohol, and after the last two weeks I consider myself something of an expert when it comes to tomato based cooking sauces.
I provided the above information to show that it does contain a small amount of wine, and not as some posters on this thread have been saying, contains no wine.
As an aside, I am eating run and raisin ice cream that I was not asked for ID to buy it...It must be accepted as a principle that the rifle cannot replace the speed of the horse, the magnetism of the charge and the terror of cold steel.

The issue is not whether or not the jobsworth should or not have read the label. Or indeed, what they would have made of it if they had.
The real question is why they caused the trouble in the first place. Company instructions (right or wrong is immaterial)?, or were they just making it up to feel more important?

I am not sure, obviously I couldn't see the till, but she did ask once she had scanned the jar....OP, sorry did the till prompt the question , or was it an over zealous operator ?It must be accepted as a principle that the rifle cannot replace the speed of the horse, the magnetism of the charge and the terror of cold steel.
