Should I Be Concerned About Drinking Wine?

I am a healthy 44 year old female, 143 pounds and had blood work done due to extended bowel condition that lasted 3 weeks. My AST/SGOT # was logged at 51 and my ALT/SGPT at 33. Also had an abdomen ultrasound and liver was fine. Should I be concerned about drinking 2 - 3 glasses of wine each night?
