Shaking hands, familiar pattern — but which substance?

Priya, 48, is admitted after two days without her usual evening drinks. She has a two-year history of drinking a bottle of wine most nights, and now has visible hand tremor, sweating, and anxiety. Her family confirms she does not take any sedative or sleep medication, prescribed or otherwise, and has never used one. Her symptoms began roughly a day after her last drink.
