We drink all of the non-mevushal wine we use at the sedarim,  so 
there is no concern our non-Jewish cleaning lady might have access to 
the non-mevushal wine.  However,  this is not the case during the 
rest of the year.

It seems to me that it is preferable to use mevushal wine the rest of 
the year and not have to chance the gentile cleaning lady coming in 
contact with our wine.  If she did then I would have to throw the 
wine away.  Hence, by using mevushal wine I feel that I am avoiding 
the possibility of Baal Tashchis.

And then there are the instances where one has non observant guests 
for Shabbos.  Using mevushal wine avoids problems.
