Correct, pretty much anything fermented will have methanol if it has any pectin. Luckily the cure to methanol toxicity is ethanol so as long as the concentration is organic and not poisoned by industrial methanol, it’s perfectly safe.

The only drink you could theoretically get poisoned from is fermented orange juice but it’s pretty much unheard off outside of prohibition-era denaturing.
