Assalamu Alaykum

Question:

I have always had doubt about putting vanilla and other
alcohol-containing products in food; Is that considered haram, or not?

Answer: 

How is alcohol implemented in vanilla? is it intoxicating alcohol?  one
must ask pharmacists these quetions before answering in a proper manner? 
 
Also, one more question concerning alcohol; These new, "Non-alcoholic
beverages", are they for real, or is there still a small content of alcohol
in them.  Please excuse me for asking such absurd questions, but I'm very
curious to know.

Answer: Based on the information I have, non-alcoholic beverages contain some
alcohol in them, therefore they are HARAM.
These drinks may be haram from another perspective, that is, why would one
pretend to be like kafirs in their practices? or could these actions lead to
falling in haram as extensions to habits?
