wine favors...need opinion

Hi ladies, my liquor store ordered the wrong wine...but it got me thinking

what would you rather have....

a full bottle of white wine or
a half bottle of white and red???

they ordered me the halves and i wanted fulls, but the halves are kind of cute and now i can't decide!

I would package the halves 1 red, 1 white together per couple?

what do you think??

thanks

$1.60 per half bottle



Can you tell me where you got them? That is a great price for 1/2 bottles. I was getting quoted that price for 1/4 bottles.

Re: wine favors...need opinion

I planned on using small bottles and ordering half white and half red. I am doing one per person. I planned on wrapping each bottle individually and letting everyone choose which ones they want.

ETA which brand did you go with? FH and I tried Sutter Home and Glen Ellen. Those were the only two the store had in stock at the time.

Re: wine favors...need opinion

I think the half bottles of each sound great!! Esp for couples like me and FH - I really don't like red wine so I would take the white and he would get the other!

Re: wine favors...need opinion

I think the halves are a really cute idea because if its a couple.. it can be a bottle each, whereas the full bottle, someone may not like that type of wine

Re: wine favors...need opinion

I like the idea of halfs of red and white packaged cutely, but honestly I'm not a red drinker so if it were me, I would prefer a full bottle of white.
