Brief Answer:
Limited amount can be taken

Detailed Answer:
Welcome to Healthcaremagic.
Hi, I am Dr Anshul Varshney , I have read your query in detail , I understand your concern.
Aspirin is as such not contraindicated with wine. However, it should be ideally avoided as one can have gastric upset following this.
Since Aspirin is a blood thinner , so with alcohol it increases the chances of spontaneous bleeding.
So, we always advice our patients to avoid alcohol consumption with Aspirin and if occasionally you want, please take it in small doses.
This is my personal opinion based on details available here.
If you still have any other query, you may please ask me.
Stay Healthy.

Brief Answer:
No it's not a drug for migrancy prophylaxis.

Detailed Answer:
Hi, I would say that the consumption should be occasional.
Now important here is that Aspirin is not a drug to be used for Migraine prophylaxis.
The drugs used for the purpose are Propanolol, Flunarizine , Amitryptilline.
Please see your doctor and share my opinion.
Good luck.

Brief Answer:
Yes they are.

Detailed Answer:
There is a correlation between the two but not a major correlation and Aspirin is started in people with various other risk factors associated like High BP, Diabetes, Severe dyslipidemia.
I would suggest you regular exercise for that and well control of risk factors, if any.
Good luck.
