You're drinking too much red wine for one. A 6 - 8 oz glass of dry red wine is enough. You can actually look up wines high in restaverol, which is the compound that is said to be heart healthy.
Lowering bad fats it important, but you need good fats too. Think olive oil, cashews or almonds, and fatty fish like salmon. Tuna works well. Good fats help balance out the bad ones.
Id actually stay away from too much pasta. Stick with brown rice, quinoa, or even potatoes - yes potatoes, in moderation. Roasted in the oven with salt pepper and olive oil, not mashed with butter and cream. Avoid red meats, but you seem to have that.
Cheerios and compex carbs like oatmeal are high in fiber, which is said to help lower cholesterol. Thats why you need high fiber complex carbs - thus avoiding a lot of pasta and white rice.
Definitely increase your intake in vegtables and fruit, with emphasis on veggies. Leafy and green is great.
Avoid high sodium options. That means bacon and ham, as well as soda - even diet soda is high in sodium.
You really ought to talk to a nutritionist if this seems overwhelming.
