Can you get flu-like symptoms from wine?

Cracked out my old account for this cause I couldn’t find an answer from searching the sub.

I drink fairly infrequently. Maybe twice a month at most, and usually only enough to get me tipsy or on the edge of drunk, but never blackout.

Two days ago I had about 8-10oz of wine, and it tasted fine, but after the glass I immediately felt really sick. I was barely tipsy so it wasn’t the normal drunk sick I’m familiar with. I took melatonin and then went to bed (this is my second day trying melatonin out for my sleep problems). This same day I also forgot to take my ssri which may be relevant (I’ve only ever drank while also on ssris so I know my limits in terms of their interaction).

Next day I have a huge headache, which I attribute to me forgetting my meds because thats usually what happens when I do that. I also wake up with some body aches and soreness as if I worked out the previous day. Took an advil and my meds and was generally alright most of the day.

Around bedtime I took a melatonin and tried to go to bed, but soon after I started developing a really bad fever. Whole body chills, profuse sweating, the whole 9 yards. I don’t have a thermometer, but I felt like I was dying so I wouldn’t be shocked if it were a high grade fever. No sinus issues or coughing, and hadnt left the house in over a week (+ no one else in my house is sick), so there was no shot I just had the flu in the middle of summer.

Next day (today), wake up still a little feverish and sore, but feeling much better than when I went to bed. Overall still sluggish and have head pain but I think I’ll be over it by tomorrow.

All the context out of the way, theres a lot of factors at play here and after some research and factoring out things, I have a feeling it largely might have been the wine I had. Looking it up it seemed like some people could get similar symptoms from wine if they’re intolerant, but I wasn’t seeing fever brought up much at all.

My main question I guess is if this has ever happened to anyone else here, or is it a sign of intolerance? I’m definitely throwing out the bottle and likely abstaining until my upcoming dr appointment in a few months.

I know that forgetting to take the ssri could have also been a huge indicator, but I’m generally forgetful and forget to take it more often than I’d like to admit, and every time it happens I only have head pain and no other symptoms, so I’m not sure if that would be the pure cause.

(also sorry if this was the wrong sub for this, the main question I had was alcohol related but the massive amount of context I guess makes it feel unrelated lol)
