Hello,
Yes, it may be due to the color of the wine or alcohol-induced gastritis with an active ulcer or upper GI bleed or colitis or hemorrhoids. Avoid spicy food and alcohol. Avoid smoking and caffeine drinks. Use tablet pantoprazole before breakfast for one week. If symptoms not improved, please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
