Is sherry wine vinegar the same thing as cooking wine? Or is it different thanks!?

Answer 1

totally different, sherry is sweet and tangy , cooking wine is drier and stronger

Answer 2

Let's drop the "wine" so we're left with what the first one really is: Sherry vinegar. It used to be a by-product of 'real' sherry production in that some barrels used to go 'bad' in the sense that they had too many volatile acids in them to be fortified into sherry proper, and so these barrels used to be given away to friends, neighbours and family instead. Since then, the product has been 'streamlined' as regards production methods and quality, and now enjoys a very high culinary reputation, and a price to match: some sherry vinegars are more expensive than their drinking sherry counterparts!

*Don't* substitute sherry for sherry vinegar in a recipe: they are two quite different things altogether, and the results will be quite wrong.

Cooking wine is a horrid mass produced salted gloop best given the widest berth imaginable.

Hope this helps.

Answer 3

No, it's not. Sherry wine vinegar is vinegar. Cooking wine is wine that has salt and other ingredients added. Of course, the best choice would be real sherry, an inexpensive bottle from the liquor store works great.

Answer 4

No they are not the same thing. Rice cooking wine is a very poor quality product. Cooking wines are cheap wins that are not quality enough to drink and then they have a lot of salt added to them so that they are no longer considered drinkable and can be sold as a food product instead of an alcoholic beverage. Rice vinegar is vinegar made from a rice base.

Answer 5

GAWD NO!

Cooking wine is a cheap, salt filled concoction that does not belong in cooking!

If you need a substitute, just use white wine vinegar.

Answer 6

No it is a vinegar

Answer 7

yes it is
