(even now!) who had this problem. Hep C, bad liver results, depression, anxiety, and she needed a drink at the end of the day. The line was drawn at the half bottle of wine a night, and the bottle carefully halved and that part not consumed poured into a decanter (and left there!). I was just asking myself why the remainder was not left in the bottle. The reason is that the hand in such cases can be quicker than the eye, and takes orders from the subconcious. A scrupulously fair division between the 2 halves *tended* to prevent the kinds of internal arguments that permitted a quick extra wine grab. (Once it's down the hatch, or in the glass, who can take it back?).
So you can do that instead of pouring it out. Or you can buy half bottles, but the value is bad.
