This is exactly what I do when I need wine for putting in something but don't want to drink the remainder; I keep a stock of the cans from Tesco. They are 1/3 bottle size (250 ml) which is usually pretty much what's needed. I haven't tried the red, but I wouldn't drink the white through choice ;)

Theoretically the better the wine, the better the outcome, but if you're just looking for something to throw in stew, sauces or that kind of thing, these are what you need.
