dear Sir
thanks for writing to us.
first of all i would like to know what do you mean by paratachycardia? does it mean para AV nodal tachycardia or parahisian tachycardia? anyway, at rate of 120 it is unlikely to be any common pathological tachycardia. second, tachycardia are not known to be terminated by wine.
next time you have it, get an ECG done at time of tachycardia and discuss.
sincerely
