Yeah, but how long before I croak?!?!? I need to know now!

Pretty much immediately. You wouldn't even know it.

Acidic pH like wine denatures proteins. It would destroy you on the cellular level, basic cell functions would cease to work. You could say it would stop your breathing or cause an instant heart attack, but it would be more like as if it fried your brain and heart like an egg in an instant.

I have a different question. How much wine extract can i add to the water in my body to be able to correctly state i exist out of 80% wine and still live.

That's much easier. If you weigh 100kg (220lb) it's W/(100 + W) = 0.8, and solving for W gives 400.

If you eat 400 kg of wine powder then 80% of your mass will be wine.

This will kill you, and it doesn't actually matter what powder you choose to eat.

You are saying that you would have to eat four times your body weight of wine powder to turn your blood into wine. That doesn’t make sense.
