Hello,

Yes, excessive wine may cause alcoholic gastritis which may lead to indigestion, ulcer formation and also cause reflux disease. Also cause alcoholic fatty liver disease which also causes indigestion and malabsorption.

So, try to quit alcohol slowly. Use tablet Nexium before breakfast for one week and avoid spicy food. If symptoms not improved, please consult your doctor, he/she will examine and treat you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
