> Europeans will drink a couple of glasses of wine every night for example.

I'm from a wine-producing region in Europe and I would not consider this normal in any way. Not even my parents drink that much, and they have a dedicated wine cellar.

While this source seems to have valid numbers for wine consumption (based on the 2016 numbers available on Wikipedia), but the jump from liters per year to glasses per day is not coherent at all.

60 liters per year =

1.15 liters per week =

164ml per day

That is a not 2-3 glasses nor the "couple of glasses" I was calling out - that is what I would describe as "one generous glass" or ~1.3 UK standard wine glasses of 125ml.
