According to this site...
"Cooking Sherry is usually just low grade sherry that has salt added to make it undrinkable and useful solely for cooking. You are better off getting a regular bottle of sherry and cooking with it. You have better control of the salt in your dish and you will have a better sherry as well.
There are also substitutions you can use in place of Sherry for cooking. A non-alcoholic, sweet white wine would work, as would using a chicken stock instead of Sherry."

It also says the same thing here...

Personally I prefer a good cream sherry. My personal fave is Wiederkehr's cream sherry but I'd recommend going to the liquor store and asking what a good and fairly cheap sherry would be. Most liquor store employees will be able to tell you what they have that will fit your needs and your budget.

Harveys Bristol Cream...Use a fair amount for sweet or a small amount for dry.
