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.

The brain isn’t bathed in blood though, because of the blood-brain barrier. So if we’re limiting to only the blood turning to wine, it’ll take a couple seconds of excruciating pain before the brain goes night-night from lack of oxygen.

Yeah, but there is water in every brain cell as well.

If all the water goes, every cell goes simultaneously.

Guilty as charged. To my defence, I've had 5 exams in the past 3 weeks, and I'm officially undead.
