Is Wine Advisable While On Clopidogrel Bisulfate For Low Blood Pressure?

I just had a stent and balloon angiogram for a leg injury. I was never on meds and have a low blood pressure reading. I was prescribed one 75 mg of Clopidogrel Bisulfate daily for 12 months. I am not a drinker or smoker; however, I do like red or white wine during the Holidays or on a weekend. Can I have a glass of wine or two?
