How much does everyone else consume?

As someone who has been sober for 2 years, you do not drink a lot. Unless you have had a rapid growth in the amount you drink, there is nothing wrong with 1 beer a night and a couple on weekends. At the height of my problem, I was easily drinking more than you do in a week on any given night (mixture of beer and shots). As long as you can afford it and aren't being an ass, there really shouldn't be an issue. That's my personal view. However, the definition of a problem drinker is someone whose drinking is causing an issue in their life. Your wife obviously has an issue with it. I would have a discussion with her as to what is an acceptable amount to her and see if that wouldn't be an issue for you or come to a compromise.
