Mr Bill,
Since you don't seem to have gotten any responses so far I will share with you just a bit more of my vast ignorance, telling you nothing (obviously) but keeping you company while we wait for someone who knows anything to pipe up.
The first thing I must say, of course, is to ask you doctor and do what (s)he says.
I did some searching in the databases I generally check out when I want to pretend to know things and I didn't find much there. A few years ago there were some articles and studies about whether taxotere infusions might make patients tipsy since they use (used?) ethanol to dissolve the drug (which dissolves poorly in water.) I saw one study that looked at blood alcohol and found that one patient in their 20-patient study did reach a blood alcohol level that might qualify as slightly impaired but that the level dropped after 30 minutes and was mostly gone after an hour. If this means anything it seems to suggest that you hold off on the wine until you get home -- no drinking while you are actually sitting in the infusion chair.
I also saw a very few studies about resveratrol and taxotere. Resveratrol is a substance in red wine that may or may not have some hard-to-pin-down health benefits, including some anti-cancer properties. The studies I saw all seemed to be about a decade old but they did agree that resveratrol makes chemo drugs slightly more effective. I didn't see any recent studies confirming the finding but neither did I see anything contradicting them.
So, if it's OK with your doctor, go for it.
