The wine is the least problematic issue. So many delicious wines are mevushal. And it’s not your problem if the guest answers his phone. You aren’t meant to bring him from chillul Shabbos to 100% observance of all 613 before you serve the chicken soup. Hopefully your kids, if they”ll be at the table, can have this explained to them before the guests arrive. Or maybe they”re too little to notice. If they”re old enough to notice, but not old enough for a conversation, then maybe this is not the right time for you.
