Now I am going to get personal. Feel free to tell me to butt out, shut up or whatever.
Note if this is only one night or two nights a week, ignore the rest of the post.
Is this cocktail hour every night?
How much on average do you drink a night? 1 glass, 2 glasses, 1/2 a bottle, a full bottle or more?
If one glass, I can't help you except to suggest maybe have cocktail hour every other night.
If more than one try to cut your consumption in half.

Ah, you have identified the crux of the issue; once the wine bottle is open, why not go back for a second glass? And it's so delicious with dinner, too. I have tried to combat this tendency with a real cocktail during cocktail hour and actually, it's a pretty good strategy. Not only is one plenty, they also don't go well with dinner. But I like wine.
Knowing me, I need to go off the sauce altogether for a bit. I'm the type where none is easier than a little.
