Should we all just give you a moment alone?

White wine in a béchamel? sounds interesting, I might give that a try next time.
What ratio of milk to wine do you normally use?
BTW I liked the Jackson Pollock analogy

TBH I actually prefer the béchamel mostly because it adds a different texture , I tried this with ricotta before and its just not the same.
Proportionally for this size lasanga (2kg ground beef, about 6; 400g cans of whole tomatoes) I only use 1L of milk, but I also add a lot of salt, black pepper, a touch of nutmeg, and about 200g finely grated parmesan to the béchamel.
I probably also cook the roux a tad longer than traditionally required; to a light blonde before adding the milk.
While building the lasagna, I layer each ingredient separately. i.e. lasagna sheets, bolognese, streaks of béchamel, and grated mozzarella in each layer.
So it doesnt get all mixed up, when it sets, you end up with little "pockets" of creamy cheesy béchamel surrounded by rich beef and tomato sauce

It did overflow a bit, I also put béchamel sauce and a ton of mozzarella on the center of the top layer leaving a border around (like pizza crust)
EDIT: The thinking is the extra weight at the center allows the less heavy "crust" or "border" so to speak swell more than the center; specifically the lasagna sheets.
