The ability to control one’s own urge to drink varies from person to person. Blick reader Sarah M. reports that it’s hard to have just one glass of wine while eating. Her husband, on the other hand, would not mind leaving the business here. We’ve put together a few simple tips that can help you gain more control.

Non-alcoholic wines have been on the market for a long time and they are getting better and better. You can put a non-alcoholic red wine on the table next to the open Chianti bottle. After emptying the glass with your favorite Italian wine, only non-alcoholic wine arrives.

If it’s clear from the start that your friend, not you, is responsible for spilling, this can help limit the amount you drink.

Tracking when you start drinking can help you track consumption. For example, you can set a goal that the glass you fill should last for 20 minutes.

Consciously focus on the aromas of the wine and consciously savor every sip instead of pouring the wine on your own. Can you taste the beautiful cherry note in Chianti? Can you feel the fine grained tannins?

In large glasses, even large quantities of wine look like a small gift. The same amount of wine will appear much more if you prefer smaller wine glasses. This trick will help you become more aware of how much you actually drink.

If you’re having intense conversations while eating or paying close attention to the plates on the plate, drinking sometimes stays in the background. By doing this, you can also reduce the amount you drink.

Chianti is your absolute favourite, isn’t Beaujolais for you? Then plan a Beaujolais week where only this variety is available. This may lessen your craving for a second glass.
