No there was no blood. But was sort of blue mould. I would drink maybe 3 bottles wine per week could this contrubite....although the red wine consumption is soley with dinner.

I am extremely sorry for the delay in my reply. There was a family emergency.
Blue mould is not related to the wine you have been consuming. One can get blue stools only if a colouring agent was consumed through food products. I dont think there is any cause for concern at the moment
Here is how you should go about it
1. Watch for further such episodes of discoloured stools
2. Watch for blood in stools and pain abdomen
3. The only other way to find out if you persist to have blue mould is to send stool routine test
4. Drink plenty of water and follow a high fibre diet full of vegetables and fruits
I hope I was of help, if you have any further queries please get back to me. I am once again extremely sorry for the delay
