Asking for a friend 
Went on a hike with someone last week and now have symptoms of a cold (possibly covid) don’t actually feel too bad so wondering whether red wine would help or make me feel worse! Anyone tried a bit of wine when poorly - did it help?
I don’t think you can buy it in the chemists where most ailment remedies are found.
But if you are determined to experiment ,go for it.
Personally, Merlot helps me sleep. 
Any alcohol variant should do the trick Azz, it has no medicinal use whatsoever but, what it does do is make a 48 hour ailment feel like a 24 hour one 
Hot (or cold) Toddy . . . good for man flu.
Its self embalment in stages
Do you intend to use it intravenously?
Any alcohol produces a short term high Azz but is closely followed by a long term low…My advice would be a hot lemon or two 500mg paracetamol just before bedtime and you will wake up raring to go…
Red wine should only ever be supped with a nice meal…Preferably a steak or some slices of nice Scottish beef…
Actually, I always feel better when I’ve got a cold, after a meal and a power nap…
Any East European Red Wine …it may not cure your cold , but after one bottle you won’t care .
I’ve given up the red wine with dinner, I like a goblet before as an aperitif, and a goblet of water with . . . in my old age.
I used to like reds, but my tastes have become far more refined, I now lean to lagers, any lager as long as it is wet with a bag of scratchings.
Thank you for the advisory…I will be on guard😀
Good luck 
Hi
Red wine solves all problems.
Having a wine, red, white, or any alcohol when I have a cold, is the last thing on my mind! Bleugh!
Azz years ago one rubbed a product called VIC on the chest to get rid of a cold.
Deffo avoid scratching your rote or nether-regions after touching that stuff until you’ve washed it off!!!
Or rubbing one’s eyes.
