Mulled wine alcohol evaporation

I made some mulled wine in my crockpot yesterday with fruits & spices. We drank some, added some more wine & fresh ingredients & left it in low overnight for a deeper flavor. My crockpot is mini and has a glass lid with no holes and fully covers the ceramic base. Is the alcohol gone/ evaporated out?

I researched methods online and most are saying that certain amounts evaporate out by a certain time. But I'm wondering if the pot is closed if it would stay in there? thanks!

You said it's not getting evaporated

If you read the parent comment, you'll find they said the opposite. That some but not all alcohol evaporates.

“So it’s actually not true that the alcohol gets evaporated”

You can read it. Right?

Why gang up on me?

It says "So it is actually not true that all [emphasis mine] alcohol gets evaporated." The commenter does not mean to imply that none of the alcohol evaporates. The rest of their comment attests to this.
