Red wine has a lot of great qualities. But if you drink it on an empty stomach it can be gnarly. The benefits of red wine are found in the polyphenals, reseveratrol and flavanoids that can lower cholesterol , good for the heart, good for digestion of meats, the list does go on and on.... The down side is that red wine has a lot of histamines in it and some people can react to that by getting heart burn, rashes, red flushes in the face, and when consumed over the limit of say two glasses may cause diarrhea (not to mention the red wine stained lip and dehydration). So it is moderation for this fermented elixir or none at all if you have a reaction to it.

Red wine, chocolate, coffee, liquor and fatty foods have all been shown to cause a relaxation of the Lower Esophageal Sphincter.
Ew.
At the bottom of the pipe that leads from your pie hole to your tummy, is a valve that should stay shut after the food/drink passes through. As we age, the things listed above (and many other, but these are the biggies) can cause that valve to open allowing acidic splashing and gasses to climb up into your throat.
Ew. Again.
Often, all that is needed is a little time between when you drink your last drink and when you lay down/ lean back/recline. (Although some people are VERY sensitive and get it anyway). Your time will vary with what you are consuming.
Coffee tends to have a milder but longer lasting effect, wine, quick but profound (as you would seem to have found!)
Oh! Do not count on antacids or other OTC medications. Some prescriptions can offer relief but they will cost you...
Best wishes!

If you have problems with heart burn and want to drink wine, red wine is better than white wine. White wines tend to have a higher amount of acid, which causes heart burn.

All forms of alcohol may aggravate heartburn. If avoidance of alcoholic beverages is neither desired or possible, then try a simple over the counter acid suppressant like Zantac (Ranitidine) up to 12 hours prior to when you'll be drinking. You may also have a look at the web site of the American Academy of Family Physicians. Follow the "Patients" link and see the document on Gastroesophageal Reflux. There are a number of nonpharmacological suggestions for treating heartburn. If you are still experiencing difficulties, see your physician.

Try sweeter wine like Zinfandel, Pinot Gregio or Gewurztraminer. Chardonnay although trendy is a bit more sharp and prone to causing gastric upset. Sparking wines are great too - try Italian over french or California. Good Luck!

It can do especially if it is a full bodied red and you have not eaten or eaten rich food. Try a lighter drier red such as Beaujolais with some plain snacks. Sip a glass of water at the same time if it continues to happen.

Quite possibly - it does that to me!
Simple experiment:- eat exactly they same things for two days but on one day drink red wine and on the other drink water. If you only get heartburn on the red wine day then you've found the cause!
