Will making Coq au Vin in my bare cast iron dutch oven disintegrate its seasoning?

I can't afford those expensive Le Creuset ones so I bought a super cheap Lodge dutch oven. Since Coq au vin has wine, which is an acid, will cooking Coq au vin in seasoned cast iron for the prolonged period of time disintegrate my hard earned seasoning? Is it really worth an extra 170 bucks for a pot?

Can I cook Boeuf Bourguignon in a bare cast iron dutch oven pot?

Since the dish has wine and the dutch oven is bare cast iron (I just bought it a couple weeks ago, so the seasoning is pretty new), will cooking boeuf bourguignon (which has wine and requires extensive prolonged stewing) in a bare cast iron dutch oven give it an off flavor, dissolve the seasoning, ruin the dish, or ruin the entire dutch oven completely?
