Dr. Zakia Dimassi Pediatrics
This could be flushing, skin blotching, or hives induced by one of the components of wine, mainly sulphites, which are products of the fermentation process. In other words, it is a form of allergic reaction, a mild form. If you'd like to learn more about the topic, here are two good resources for you to read further:

Note that should you at any point develop more severe allergic symptoms such as abdominal pain,  vomiting, diarrhea, shortness of breath/wheezing, or swelling of the face, you will need to report to a doctor immediately.
