I really suggest you set a calorie limit. Before I had fills and a lot of weight loss, my calorie limit was 1,600. I could lose steadily eating 1,600 or less.. although I admit it was hard to do initially. Then track your calories on myplate. 1/2 a bottle of wine I would say is about 400 calories? That's really not good, that would leave 1,200 more calories for your food.
I didn't cut out things I liked (re: bread, cheeses, whatever), but I made sure I stayed in my calories. As you lose weight and gets fills, your daily calorie requirements not only drop, but your ability to get that many calories in (without drinking a bottle of wine or a milkshake) is a lot harder as well.
