Wine has side effects such as adding a lot of color to the face, and causing tiredness.

Amaretto Sour reminds me of girls in college who couldn't stand the taste of liquor so they ordered something "yummy". Doesn't say sophisticated to me at all.
Avoid red wine because it often causes your teeth/lips to turn purple, and if you spill it on someone it's a mess to get out.
White wine is a good idea, but depending on the bar may be really cheap. Something like a Vodka Tonic is probably a good bet.
I myself am a fan of flavored vodka (preferably raspberry, but orange is more common) and club soda. It's a clear drink so spilling/staining isn't an issue, and the club soda helps to keep you a little more hydrated, IMO.
