Local alcohol laws don't apply in transit unless you really act like a fool and force the authorities to do something.
And the incident you referenced had nothing to do with her having a glass of wine on the flight. She was trying to enter the UAE with an expired passport plus another passport which was not eligible for visa on arrival.
