Now I am 2 months pregnant.
Usually before my dinner I take wine. Is it safe to ‘occasionally’ have a wine while pregnant? Now I am 2 months pregnant.

I strongly recommend ‘No’ to wine in this precious period of time. Alcohol can have a number of harmful effects on the baby. The baby can be born mentally retarded or with learning and behavioral problems that last a lifetime. We don’t know exactly how much alcohol is required to cause these problems. We do know, however, that these alcohol - related birth defects are 100% preventable, simply by not drinking alcohol during pregnancy.

It depends on how much wine you usually take before your pregnancy. A lot of studies encourage pregnant women to reduce (or even stop) the alcoholic-drinking-habit during the pregnancy, because it is related with the incidence of fetal abnormalities.
According to Keith Eddleman, MD (an expert in feto-maternal health), there is no available valid data to support how much drinking habit is safe during pregnancy. So, for a safe-way, I do encourage you to reduce the wine-drinking habit, and it will even be safer if you can stop that for "only-9-months".
Some pregnant women in French who are usually drink wine, have normal babies. But again, there's no valid data on research to support this.
In the alcohol study, researchers conducted in-person interviews with 12,495 new moms whose babies were 9 months old. Women were asked if they drank during their pregnancy and, if so, how much. At 3 years, children were assessed for inappropriate conduct (atypical hitting, arguing and
