is that spelled with an em-dash?

If half my guests will be drinking twice as much white wine as red wine, but the other half of my guests will drink 50% more wine total than the first half and will drink three times as much red wine as white wine, what ratio of red wine to white wine should I purchase?

(thirteen bottles of red for each eleven bottles of white, by my math.)






(I did that in pen.)

I've never had a party yet where I didn't end up with more wine than I started with.

True for house parties - but the lovely ms sevoo is referring to a more formal event. (coming up soon! whee!)

The nice reception-planning people say 1/3 white, 1/3 lighter red, 1/3 darker red. I think that seems pretty close, though possibly a little high on the white wine end given our friends.

Oh, I beg your pardon -- I either didn't read carefully or didn't make the obvious connection.

or I was just vague. :)
