What is a good, inexpensive wine to go with the clam linguine that I’m cooking?

I like to cook, and my husband likes having wine with the meals I make. Which wines get paired up best with which foods? Are you supposed to drink red wines with certain dishes? Please give some examples of some different wines that we can try that are readily found in the supermarket.

How long can you keep canned or jarred food?

Is canning and jarring supposed to preserve it forever? Or does it have a shelf life that’s not indicated anywhere on the can/jar? I have some old cans of Chunky Clam Chowder soup, I’m guessing it’s about 5 years old. Also some jarred spaghetti sauce around the same age. They don’t look any worse for wear. In my bachelor days I likely would have eaten them without any afterthought. I’m not as young as I used to be anymore though…
I guess I wasn’t clear when I said “not indicated anywhere on the can/jar”, but I don’t see any dates on them.
