Brandi,

Your asthma acts up with the wine because wine contains sulfites, a common allergen for asthmatics. I stopped drinking wine for about 10 years and then suddenly, around five years ago, I no longer had the symptoms. You can find wines without sulfites, usually from organic growers. Be careful. You can go into full anaphylactic shock from an allergic reaction. I am sure if you search on the Internet, you can find the sulfite free wine.
