As you don't eat it, the contents are not required on the label.
As I thought nothing there on the US/CA list of mineral spirits which all require a warning label.
All household cleaners containing known hazardous chemicals must carry a warning label that spells out the potential risks, along with precautionary steps and first-aid instructions.
As bad as the name sounds that is an anti-microbial agent widely used, its badness is not firmly established.
BTY alcohol is used as a paint thinner and remover
AND the main constituent of gourmet wine : )
Eh? Unless you are talking blank stump bordeaux wine is generally under 20% alcohol which would suggest the main constituent is water?

Dihydrogen monoxide is the primary ingredient in wine. It can be very dangerous, many people have died just from inhaling it, and it can be found in almost every lake and river in North America!

Alcohol is on the California Proposition 65 chemical list as a cancer cause under Alcoholic Beverages. Pretty hard to find any solvent that is not on the list.
Best not to drink dish washing soaps or detergents.
Dihydrogen monoxide:
is also known as hydroxyl acid, and is the major component of acid rain.
contributes to the "greenhouse effect".
may cause severe burns.
contributes to the erosion of our natural landscape.
accelerates corrosion and rusting of many metals.
may cause electrical failures and decreased effectiveness of automobile brakes.
has been found in excised tumors of terminal cancer patients.
Despite the danger, dihydrogen monoxide is often used:
as an industrial solvent and coolant.
in nuclear power plants.
in the production of styrofoam.
as a fire retardant.
in many forms of cruel animal research.
in the distribution of pesticides. Even after washing, produce remains contaminated by this chemical.
as an additive in certain "junk-foods" and other food products.

Isn't one of the main reasons we drink wine the alcohols effect ?
yes, but unless you drink everclear the main consituent of alcoholic drinks is water. The main ACTIVE ingredient is alcohol, but you didn't say that!
Ed: you were funnier before. Do you need a holiday?
Just had one celebrating the Brits leaving!
A nice summer supper
Tonight the missus made some Baba ganoush from an eggplant I roasted over charcoal the other day. Then she whipped up some pita bread and cooked it on the pizza stone in the gas BBQ, while I marinated some pork tenderloin in fresh herbs, oil, lemon juice, garlic, and harissa then grilled the cubed meat on skewers over charcoal, along with skewers of sweet onion, green pepper, and mushrooms. Washed down with Australian wine from a box! The smoky Baba ganoush was great accompaniment with the sizzling pork.

I hope your refrigerator dill pickles turn out wonderfully; when I tried them, they were awful. Not much flavor and not much crunch. However: the carrots, pickled the exact same way, were divine. Glad we tried many different veggies; some were awful but some were great. Best wishes for culinary success!
Food and culture are a very interesting thing. Every country have their strange little quirks when it comes to this regard. Down here the only think I am aware of that we eat differently to everyone else would be the fact that our native people have a very different idea of how to do a roast. They bury the food underground and cook it down there. It makes the food take pretty strange, and I haven't eaten it in a long time. Although even to this day I still remember the taste, and that has got to account for something.
