My question is, what are the common alcoholic ingredients that I should take care?
Probably some others.

Chocolates which contain alcohol are normally described as liquers or are named after the alcohol these contain (Kirsch, Williams, Grappa etc.)
Here is an example from Frey. Click on Food Facts and you see what it contains . . .
Kirsch doesn't contain alcohol .... kirsch is alcohol (despite also meaning cherry).
They don't say "No" explicitly on their website:

E.g. Sprüngli and Teuscher sell a large selection of highest-quality non-alcolholic chocolates - you just have to ask for ones without alcohol.
They sell a lot to people from the Middle East, so they know the drill.
Most of the cheaper "collections" from Migros and Coop do contain a small number of chocolates with alcohol - I don't know why that is, because IMO they don't taste that good anyway (but maybe that's the point: they have to get rid of them somehow...)
The ones from the above two sources are also usually very fresh and haven't been sitting in a box for weeks. They are perfect "special" gifts, if the person who receives them doesn't mind you spending so much money "only" on chocolates.
