I think it's saying that you can eat the fruit fly, but not food the fruit fly has touched.

It's always worth remembering, though, that bacteria live on some foods more easily than others. I'd be surprised if most bacteria could live long in wine.

Is wine generally alcoholic enough to provide any sort of disinfectant property?

I don't think so, but it's acidic enough to not be a hospitable place for anything not adapted to it.
