I had not had any wine since my diagnosis of GCA... when my daughter-in-law was with me helping out, I made sure there were a few bottles in the fridge; I know she enjoys it.
One evening she poured me half a wine glass; I savored every sip and surprise!!! Nothing happened; I'm still here, and no side effects. I'm not afraid to have a bit now and then.
It may be wise to ask the doctor because of other meds where it would be contraindicated. Worth a try.💞
