I'm not too fussy about letting wine I don't finish drinking sit for
later use cooking. I'll use it pretty quick.

But, the best suggestion I can give you, which is what Bob and I do,
is purchase those little four-packs of wine. You can select from
several different varietals. I think the bottles have about 6-8 oz. in
each one (maybe more, I don't have the package in front of me). They
are perfect for cooking, and if you don't use the whole bottle, it can
be refrigerated for future use quite easily.

It's also an inexpensive route for using wines that are even drinkable
(depending upon the winery).
