my dh works at a small company that is very close and they do a lot of social parties. the coworker who organizes the holiday party gave him a list of kosher wines and told him to choose which one he is able to drink and they would buy it for all of the employees. my dh kept insisting that he doesn't drink and it is fine and they should buy what they like. they kept pressuring him so he told them he will only drink wine that is mevushal and told them what to buy.
now is it halachically ok to drink wine with non-Jews? social drinking is not something that Jews should do with non-Jews and the mingling is already pretty bad.

I think that's a question for a Rav. You're going to get so many mixed responses here. I think it's probably wrong but I definitely would while dh definitely wouldn't.

As far as I know drinking with non jews is assur in halacha. I think you should ask your rav as there may be leniencies if it's going to affect his work

I think there are special halachic problems with wine that aren't the same as certain liquors or beer but ask you LOR
