Dr. Eskapa's book counts a 750ml (small) bottle of wine at 6.5 units. I count it as 5, b/c I get 5 average glasses from a bottle, and it's easier for me to count that way. The big bottles would then count either as 13 units by Dr. Eskapa's method, or 10, using my personal method.
How you count the units isn't really all that important, since you're only comparing yourself to yourself. You want to see the change in YOUR drinking habits. So decide on a consistent measure that works for you, and begin a chart.
It's that simple!
