I doubt this sort of concern was as prominent then.
It's not just about personal affection. One of the points I think we can take from the historical record of kosher garum is that there have always been goyisher merchants who wanted to sell things to Jews. Presumably extra-specially true in areas of high Jewish population.
My cold medication has a hechsher on it. And it doesn't even have alcohol in it. But along with being advertised as gluten free and non-drowsy making, it's safe for Orthodox Jews, at least not during Passover (has corn syrup in).
Jewish money: the same color as everybody else's money.
