Brief Answer: Vicodin es can be taken after 4-6 hours Detailed Answer: Hi, Thank you for posting your query. The action of vicodin es (hydrocodone) lasts for about 4-6 hours. So, the next dose can be taken after a duration of 4-6 hours after the last dose. Since you consumed wine, which may make its effect last longer, you may take the next dose after 6 hours. Also, you should not take more than five tablets in a day. I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you require any additional information.
