Hi,
Glaucoma needs continuous long term followup. You may need one or more eye drops added to timolol, or be prescribed a replacement for it. Any eye drop prescribed, needs to be reviewed for the required efficacy (desired result achieved in you or not) and for any unwanted side effects.

Yes, beta blockers like timolol can drop the blood pressure profoundly, and even cause fainting from low blood pressure and slow heart rate ( bradycardia ). Beta blockers should be avoided in people with chronically low blood pressure.

The timolol eye drops for glaucoma decrease heart rate but will not cause heart block or bradycardia in normal subjects.

An occasional glass of wine or a celebratory cocktail will probably not affect your glaucoma, but it is important to have self-control and use good common sense when it comes to diet and lifestyle habits. If still in doubt, you may discuss it further over a call or a video conferencing.
Thanks.
