...particularly red wine for me. Doesn't make a difference if it's excellent quality or sh*te either - what is it?

It's an allergic reaction to the tannins in the wine. Normally, red has a higher content of tannin than whites.

For some reason your body is causing you to tense up when drinking alcohol and that is causing pressure in your neck muscles to tighten them up for the pain there and they would pull into your jaw where they are attached as well. To keep the pains from happening you have to release those muscles that it's happening in so they shouldn't be pulled into pain again and here's how to do that release: Neck: Place your hands behind your head so your fingers meet in the middle of your neck. Press into the neck with a moderate pressure and hold. After 30 seconds slowly lower your head as far as you can, then remove the pressure from the muscles but continue holding your head down for another 30 seconds. For best results relax your body first by taking a deep breath and exhaling then remain this relaxed.

Could be an allergic reaction. The common question is "Can I be allergic to alcohol?" Although alcohol can be the culprit, it usually is not. The culprits are usually the additives used in the manufacturing process. Some of the possible culprits include:
Brewers yeast
Corn
Eggs
Grapes
Molds
Sulfites
Pesticides
There is an in depth article with possible solutions at: http://allergies.about.com/cs/alcohol/a/aa043001a.htm
Good Luck!

A wine that is very tart and acidic could possibly overstimulate the salivary glands as they try to balance the intraoral ph. The "overworked" gland can be the cause of the pain

Sounds more like tooth problems rather than Wine. If you get pain for other sorts of food then it's likely to be involved. Does it hurt when you eat ice cream?

Perhaps it's just the tartness of the wine. Does it happen when you drink grape juice? Happens to me. It's not a painful pain, just a little "zap" in my cheeks.

I have a stone in my parotid gland. It causes swelling and pain when I eat certain foods particularly things high in acid. Maybe you have the same thing.

Might have something to do with occasionally having too many bottles of wine and falling over flat on your face.

I have associated this pain with my salivary glands kicking in. Perhaps I too have a stone in my parotid gland

Are you sure it's not connected to your jaw hitting the pavement when you have keeled over ??
