Brief Answer:
Continuous wine intake can cause high triglycerides.

Detailed Answer:
Hi

Thank you for asking HCM

I have gone through your query. Continuous wine intake can cause high triglycerides levels. Fatty liver also is possible. tenderness can be due to this. Get an ultrasound examination of liver as well as liver function test to rule out this.
If the fatty liver is caused by wine or alcohol then by avoiding them completely it is reversible. Take citrus fruits , green leafy vegetables and more plain water to help in liver recovery faster. You can also take vitamin C and anti oxidants supplements.

Let me know if anything not clear.
I am happy to help you.
Thanks.
