The Brit needs to engage in his Paddy bashing.

0.5% is an EU regulation than Ireland specific. And apparently the same level in the US from my (just done now) googling.

Only because it's a different country using English!

Before Austria joined the EU (in 1995) there used to be significant differences in the rules on food labelling between Austria and Germany, to the extent that sometimes a product would have two separate lists of ingredients, one for Austria and one for Germany. The same may now happen with Ireland and the UK, and perhaps the term "alcohol-free" is already being used differently. See https://www.ibec.ie/drinksireland/-/media/documents/drinks-i...
