Wine contains many congeners which are byproducts of fermentation. The congeners may cause as many or more problems as the alcohol it contains.

I'd cut out the wine for a while, and see what happens.

People who drink may do well on Thiamine or Benfotiamine (its improved cousin). Thiamine is the cofactor in alcohol metabolism and if your problems are aldehyde based...it may help. 300mg in divided doses of Thiamine or 300mg of benfotiamine daily (no need to divide doses), would be a first
thing to try.

Mitochondrial support comes from acetyl carnitine, R-lipoic acid, biotin, and CoQ-10. Some of these are expensive, so trying the Thiamine first will show you if this is "wine" based.
