Yeah, I'd sit and chomp on some breadsticks or crackers at the same timeAlcohol makes us insulin sensative.
What meds are you on? Can you reduce them?
Or of course you can have a snack before. Like nuts or nut butters

Although, you should really find out why your getting low blood sugar with two glasses of wine. It's common to have a BGL drop during the night after a good drink but that's due to your liver being busy processing alcohol rather than releasing it's glycogen I think?
Maybe it's something to do with your medication? Are you able to test your blood before the wine?
Rather than nuts i'd definately have some crisps with them, you need carbohydrates and crisps delivers about 15g which should help with warding off the hypo. Alcohol affects everyone differently so it's a case of treading carefully and testing, you can drink but just test so you know what's going on, once you can eliminate the hypo then you can relax more, it's a bit of trial and error though initially
