The good news is that the wine-pour study found that participants tended to overpour white wine rather than red (since the color contrast of the wine and the clear glass isn’t as apparent), so if you are sticking to red for its health benefits, then you may not be overpouring as much as researchers think.

- If you like to enjoy a glass of wine every night, then make sure the bottle of wine lasts you five nights; there are about five glasses of five-ounce pours in every 750 mL bottle of wine.
