The highway code has recently been amended for harsher penalties for drunk driving. Now you are already in violation for 0,5 grams of alcohol per liter of blood; two glasses of wine may be more than enough. The mildest fine starts at eur 543, but in serious cases, that is higher alcohol rate in the blood, the case is under criminal law, the driving license and the car have to be impounded and you won't get them back. If you have a non-drinking partner in your group he/she can be the designated driver, but if you all plan to drink wine it would be better to hire a driver.
