How much wine is not to much?

My wife has the same reaction to reds. She can drink whites with no issue, though. Even most Rieslings are okay. Blushes? Just fine. Reds? Boom! headache.

Hi. I was wondering how much wine is not too much? The following from the Bible indicates that it’s ok to have some:
Psalm 104:15 "... wine that makes glad the heart of man... "
1 Timothy 5:23 Stop drinking only water, and use a little wine because of your stomach and your frequent illnesses.

And of course some verses say that it’s a sin to drink much:
Ephesians 5:18 18 Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead, be filled with the Spirit,

So, if it’s to make your heart glad that means that in my case I would need maybe three glasses of wine. I am around 140kg, 42 years old with a biggish build.

But the question remains how often? I would say not more than once a week. I have had more than once a week lately and hopefully, I pull up and cut back. I write this because I like a bit of wine, I only drink red wine and no other alcoholic drink.
Now the above verses mention wine, not whisky, bear, etc. So does that mean we should only drink wine? I think so since strong alcoholic drinks like vodka for instance are a bit too strong and therefore too easy to have too much.

Anyway, I am very much interested in others' understanding.

Thanks

When it comes to wine, the key is balance. For most people, a glass or two is suitable for enjoying the flavors without overdoing it. Generally, a moderate amount—like one glass daily for women and up to two for men—is often considered safe and enjoyable.

How much could cause a fellow brother to stumble?

I think it varies with individuals as to how much they can "handle." I would rely on my friends for their evaluation of my ability to handle it. For me, I haven't had any alcohol since 1966, when I tried a sip of wine and had the worst respiratory reaction ever. Then, I swore off all of it. God was revealing his will for me.[/QUO 3 of my brothers & i own a large tolerance to alcohol. back yonder, i could drink 30 to 40 drinks in the span of 3 to 4 hours & hardly feel any buzz. same with my brothers. there were a few other guys like that that we would social around with. none of us ever lost our composure of responsibility, reliability or accountability. we respected women, didn't wise off, didn't slander, no stammering or staggering either. but wisdom took over & i wisely stopped decades ago.
