What Harm Will Wine Cause To Liver?

I've been drinking a bottle of red wine nearly every night to "relax" me and help me sleep. I don't have hangovers or other adverse reactions. I am worried though that this is harming my liver. I've had blood tests done that show normal levels for my liver but am still concerned. This has been ongoing for a few years now. Please let me know what the odds are with this behavior of developing liver disease. (I'm a 36 yr old female).
