[quote=Anonymous]For me, it really is a lot about the routine and that it somehow signifies time to relax. That means you just have to find a substitute that also signifies time to relax.

Sparkling water (with a wedge of lime or lemon, if you'd like) in pretty glass while you are cooking. Somehow drinking it out of the plastic bottle doesn't work; it needs to be poured into a real glass.

Now that we get milk delivered, I've started drinking milk with dinner. It is that yummy.

Herbal tea after dinner is probably better for helping you sleep, but that is the one glass of wine that I just have not substituted out. Although from a healthy sleep perspective, it would probably be better to have the one glass earlier in the evening.

Buying wine in the box has helped cut down consumption in our house. We would almost always finish the bottle. With a box, I really will have just one small glass. Smaller glasses help, too, btw. It also is great for when you need a half cup for a recipe. You can get pretty decent wine in a box these days, particularly Australians.[/quote]
