Impact of wine bottle and glass sizes on wine consumption at home: a within- and between- households randomized controlled trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background and aims

Reducing alcohol consumption across populations would decrease the risk of a range of diseases, including many cancers, cardiovascular disease and Type 2 diabetes. The aim of the current study was to estimate the impact of using smaller bottles (37.5- versus 75-cl) and glasses (290 versus 370 ml) on consuming wine at home.

Design

Randomized controlled trial of households with cross-over randomization to bottle size and parallel randomization to glass size.

Setting

UK households.

Participants

A total of 260 households consuming at least two 75-cl bottles of wine each week, recruited from the general population through a research agency. The majority consisted of adults who were white and of higher socio-economic position.
