I say nearly because if you never eat out, and read the ingredient label on all of your food I suppose you can avoid  it. 

I never thought about it this way, but you're probably right. Most descriptions in menus tend to focus on the quality of the food (grass-fed) or possible allergens (nuts, lactose, gluten, etc.). I don't recall seeing anything about wine. Sometimes a dish will have a name like 'chicken in white wine sauce' (is that a real thing?), but usually I bet the chef just adds it to the sauce and doesn't think twice about it.

It is a common ingredient, in many food items: Beef Bourguigon, Penne al Vodka, Veal Marsala.  Most tomato based sauces in restaurants. The list is endless so unless you live in a hobbit hole and never go out you can't avoid it.
