    I mix my wine with diet sierra mist/diet 7-up/diet Sprite.... (one of these)... 5 oz glass suddenly becomes a 12+oz glass... as I sip it, I add more diet soda to it... I do not need a fancy bottle... I buy boxed wines with the spout/tapper on it so I don't have to feel like I need to "finish the whole bottle" once it is opened. I can sip on 105 calories of wine for 2 or 3 hours and not feel deprived....

    I bank calories so I can drink wine over the weekend because there is no way I can cut it out completely. I also just bought FitVine wine which is lower in calories than normal wine and it is actually pretty good! It's only a difference of about 30 calories but every little bit helps!

    I very begrudgingly gave it up this week. I love wine but I end up eating ALL the things after a glass or two. It is sabotaging my diet efforts.

    At least you select an appropriate wine to augment with a soft drink mixer. That sort of treatment on good wine would be very rude.

    I bank calories so I can enjoy a few glasses a week.

    I love wine but gave it up. I switched to gin. That way i can still budget for a drink, but I feel like I really have to want a martini to drink one. With wine, I'd drink my glasses and then eat. So far, so good with this plan.

    Once a week is fine for me. And even then its only one small glass.
