I used to hate wasting wine when cooking because I don't drink and here
in Utah they don't sell the small bottles. Fortunately, I came across
something called "Private Preserve" in the Sur La Table store in SLC.

"Private Preserve prevents oxidation or spoilage of wine by using the

dioxide & argon....Protects ...for days, weeks, even months. Works by
laying down a a blanket of protective gas on the wine's surface; it
blocks out oxygen..."
A can costs about $10 but it lasts a long time. It's saved me a lot of
$$ by my not having to buy a new bottle whenever I come across a recipe
that calls for some kind of alcohol--not to mention saving me the
trouble, time, and gas of driving to the state liquor store in the next
town over.
