Just call a local restaurant and see if they will save you a few 3
liter jugs from the house wines. I have a few 3, 6 and 7 gallon
carboys for the leftovers. The smallest topping wine bottle I usally
save id a 1.5 liter.

I blend all the reds, (all the whites seperately) for topping wine.
To be honest, it's often the best wine I make... No science, not
forethought, just happenstance. )
Regards,
Joe
