It's a lot to get used to. In my first months on it, I was not only unable to drink wine, but I could get drunk just being in the same room as wine was being drunk. The fumes did it. I was also getting used to meloxicam at the time.
I am now taking a sixth of the smallish dose I started with, and for my particular ailment that is usually enough to make the difference. But my problem is quite different from yours: I have hand and arm nerve things due to a crushed vertebra in my neck and also carpal tunnel syndrome. So I don't know whether you will also be able to lessen your dose.
But I did get to the point where I could be in the presence of a glass of wine without sweeping the glasses off the table when I went to stand up, even befvore I started experimenting with lower doses. By the time I did that, I was doing it on a matter of principle (and economy: the insurance company doesn't know I'm taking so few of them).
