Black stool usually means there is some bleeding somewhere in the GI tract. See a GI doc ASAP !!! Drinking alcohol with Hep C can cause cirrhosis which can cause varices that bleed.  Hope everything turns out ok

Go to the ER or call your doctor ASAP. Black stool could be varices bleed which can kill you. I know I survived an event of varices bleed but just about did not.

It is most likely the red wine that is causing the black stools but get checked out if it doesn't go away after not drinking wine for a couple of days.
