Talk to your doctor: Buspar (buspirone) is prescribed for anxiety; while an occasional glass of wine or two (literally no more than 2 no more than twice a week) is not likely to have impact on anxiety or the buspar, (buspirone) more might cause problems. If you have had alcohol problems in the past, or a strong family history of alcoholism, even small amounts of alcohol might trigger drinking more. Talk to the prescribing doctor about it.
