Default Pls recommend versatile red & white with Chinese banquet (<$15)

I fully admit I'm a wine newbie. I thought this was the perfect group
to reach a bunch of "experts" to help me.

I am shopping for wine to serve at my Chinese wedding banquet, and I am
allowed to bring in all my own liquor. I need a versatile white and red
wine to go with the food, which is Cantonese and slightly more seafood
based (lobster, steamed fish, scallops, shrimp dishes, among others).

I will have no control over how the wine is served in terms of size of
glasses and how long it will sit out, so I want to keep the wine
inexpensive, under $15. Also, there will be 200 people at this banquet,
and not everyone is a "serious" wine drinker.

I basically am looking for an inoffensive wine that will be versatile
and inexpensive--one that the average joe can enjoy and one that won't
majorly offend the serious wine drinker. I have an attractively priced
white blend candidate from Fenn Valley winery in Michigan (random
find!) but am having a hard time with red.

Any suggestions at all for red or white? Or is there another forum or
board I should ask? Thank you so much in advance.
